Beauty is a funny thing
It quirks and surprises
Strengthens and weakens
It can change people and change plans
It can make us brave
It can make us sad.
Sometimes it's a pretty face
Or shape or sculpture or painting
Beauty on the surface
But it can be something deeper
Something vast and lasting
Something that gets in your soul
I -small - sit and watch your creation
Observing, learning, listening,
Silent.
Beauty like yours deserves attention
Commands praise
Earns adoration
But I - small - sit in silence
Unable to do you justice
Unable to form the words
When Beauty like yours deserves shouts
Of triumph of joy of love
I -small - am only quiet
But what I have
My still tongue, my quiet heart,
My silent reverence, belong to you
Every part of me
Every moment given
To Beauty like yours
