Translated Beauty

03 September 2006


In your heart
were words open to translate
In your kindness was
beauty to celebrate

For you were the morning
the night and the afternoon
You were victory on a sunny day
everything, the angel to light up a room

To your heart those words of amour
to your beauty, inside and out of adore
These words that transpire into your name
just to the looking into your eyes and proclaim

A love beyond the stars
a universe of internal discovery
This place to rest a soul
in everything in you was whole


“There is no excellent beauty that hath
not some strangeness in the proportion.”
Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)
English author and philosopher

"For you were the morning
the night and the afternoon"

~ She sounds as though she was your 'everything' and you scribed both she and your feelings, well.

Loving Light,

This was one time, when a second opinion and that of your point of reference, Linda,
has made a big different to my own appreciation of what I wrote

Because I felt that I had let this poem down, but I now feel I was perhaps wrong to make such a judgement on myself
