~ Not Nature's Beauty ~
{in dying note's discovers}
It is not the essence of nature's beauty
That I desire,
Not a perfect smile, or an old oak tree's
Despair,
No rainy children, not poverty's hand
Or,
My lover's red hair
----------------------------------------
Don't sing to me
Of Billie's Blues,
Or remind me of the heroin
Which stole her radiant bloom
For,
It is not nature's beauty
That I desire
-----------------------------------------
I need only my ability
To observe,
To slowly sip
From adventure's, precarious,
(yet fleeting)
Wine flagon,
And mostly,
To write of that which nature
Reveals to us all,
Inside
-------------------------------------------
For,
I am but the soft,
Sustaining,
Woodwind instrument,
Upon which nature's beauty
Blows
And if precious music,
(In dying notes)
Discovers
That I am here
Then,
I am most happy
To have lived
Observantly
At all....

Simply STUNNING Tony. Here you capture the essence of the soul passion of a writer.
“For,

Such sensational imagery in this perfect analogy of the inner workings of a true writer, especially a poet. For they write words which melodically move the soul of the reader. This poem is for me a spiritual acknowledgment of the true treasure in life. That be the delight of observation and the written word. That (in particular) for a poet, the idea of fame through their words, does not hold up against the joy of indulging in penning that what shifts our gaze and moves our poetic heart. As long as someone finds those words, even when death has long taken the poet from this here earth. Then that shall be enough to be thankful.
I am thankful to of read this perfect poetic gem of a write. Even more am I thankful to know you my friend
