Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty is not ephemeral.

Beauty is permanence, passion,

Fleeting moments do just that,

They fly away.

What matters is what stays.

The fire that burns,

Way down deep in your soul,

Too far down to be quieted or quenched

By an uncaring gaze.

In your memory, it will reside

Forever.

It lives in the collective unconscious.

Like a heartbeat;

Steady, Solid,

Undeniable,

It waits upon it’s time.

To question beauty,

Is to question one’s own self.

If you doubt what is real

Know only this,

The truth in beauty lies,

In knowing oneself.

If you do not take the time now

To know and love yourself,

You can never know love,

Or Beauty
