Her dazzling eyes are but night's eternity-
an infinite array of stars in their prime,
arranged in heavenly constellations,
perfectly illuminating the void of nighttime.

Bound only by the limitations of one's life,
one could gaze indefinitely into the night,
in search of a more heavenly body,
that yet remains endlessly out of sight.

Yet, if you are persistent in your search,
and you search the many miles,
you are sure to resolve your longing,
through her innocent smiles.

Her smile is but the sun's good-bye
amidst the canvas of dark and light,
radiating beauty across the vacant sky,
like the wings of an angel in first flight.

Her heavenly existence is but autumn's breath,
as it whisks away the crimson leaves of time
from rightful bearers-- now exposed,
'gainst the harshness of a lover's crime!
          

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Excellent resonance in this.

a good commitee can decimate communication.
