About
BEAUTY
Sometimes unexpectedly, unbidden,
Beauty comes. Not a downpouring of doves,
Not a Venus, sheathed in an ivory shell,
Not even the lenses of Stonehenge in its season-
Stones aligned to catch the sun as it moves
Mystically, majestically, through holes
And crevices.
Not even these spectaculars-
The light against the dark, the white ecstatic,
Stars falling and setting the sky on fire-
Take possession, or let the moment take
The horse high over the hedge with an unseen rider.
It comes when least expected, when the dark
Opens a crack to let light filter in-
A word, a look, a sudden realization.
- David George
Step into the timeless world of the poetry of ideas and humanity, art and nature, history and beauty.
