The* breath stealing beauty
Beholds existence in a single tear
Shaped droplet of water
Germinating and eroding time
The flowering bud versus the budding flower
The entanglement of enchantment
Met with such exuberance
That it becomes second nature
Force yourself to open eyes and ears
Hear the poet's tongue
Reflect upon every painstakingly chosen syllable
As it flows like the Rio Grande
Telling ancient stories of incredible minds
We are nothing but betrothed to the *stars
