" THE LIGHT AND THE BEAUTY "

In the creation of beauty itself
The orange hue from the light
Reflecting sun through the morning dew
Briefly lingering upon blades of grass
With an awareness of the coming
Sunshine
Is bravely beautiful
In the eyes of the poet or painter
But in universal eyes
It is only
One,
In a never-ending sea of examples
Subtly revealing
The equality
Of All things
And the beauty of nature
Being the herald
Of the inevitable understanding
That God (for lack of a better word)
Can be found
In the quintessence
And the light
Of all things....
