Beauty flutters on fragile wings which clumsy human hands may mar. How often heedless clouds will veil the visage of a dainty star which peers from heaven's portals as a treasure proffered from afar. The lacework wrought of gentle weave that virtue leaves us in her wake is made for such who know to give perhaps is nobler than to take, or taking shouldn't lack at least a thankful heart for goodness sake. Yet awkward still we all have been and brutish often with our touch, preserving from haphazard ways a paltry sum in place of much. Yet if more lavish boon is hid then why are we content with such? Many sundry ways there be which silken beauty may elude. She flees from unkempt hallways and from rooms where unclean feet intrude. Yet thanks to her creator's grace from sweet return she'll not exclude. SDJ 3/2000 (I know it's kind of on the same theme as the previous poem but this is just what came out!) < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Stephen Jones (edited 03-26-2000).] |

God Stephen, gimme a break... I'll see what I can do with that line.. There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
