what is beauty if not the setting sun? Or the blooming of flowers in the spring? What of waves dancing across the ocean? Or of the songs that all mockingbirds sing? Are people capable of acts divine? Capable of beauty replication? Or in the eyes of Gods are we but swine? We were not destined for such creation But, it's your hand that paints the setting sky You're the warmth that lets plants flourish once more Your heart is the beat that all things go by The conductor of its musical score You are life and all that there is to see All that is known and lies in mystery

A Question Of Beauty
In my heart dwells an awkward entity That drifts my mind and body separate. What mitigates this dualist enmity? An energy which I could never hate. A stimulant that amplifies the soul Forever feeds the hunger of the flesh When eating means I must maintain my cool my inner qi remains to be unrest Yet there is one that manifests the bridge A daredevil! (I’ve warned about the risks) Descending from my isolated ridge I greet with an unprecedented brisk. For I had acted faster than I think To love a girl (disaster!) in a blink.
