Escaping Beauty
15 July 2005

You won me over
and on that basis all is true
You stole my heart
no matter what I do

For it was your "words"
that struck my soul
Where come verses and stanza
from me - made in whole

The truth cannot lie
for there was no place to go
No doubt being void of mind
of you in journey to find and know

This cute girl with her books
all bound up on poetic inside
To come from within - such
beauty and spirit - escaping
this ethos unable to hide


“Nobody’s life is entirely free of pain and sorrow.
Isn’t it a question of learning to live with them
rather than trying to avoid them?”
Eckhart Tolle
author of best-seller, The Power of Now
(German born Canadian)
