Beauty

The twinkling of stars,                         The birth of a day,               The humming of insects,                         The flowers of May.                       The fragrance of the rose,                         The freshness of dew,               The innocence of  mankind,                         The pleasures of few.                     The passions of  Venus,                         The power of strife,               The extent of  dreams,                         The wonders of life.                   The strive for subsistence,                         The flight of the deer,               The  courage of  a  lion,                         The meaning of  fear.                 The words of a prophet,                         The chimes of a bell,               The  beliefs of  humans,                         The messages of hell.                   The  rich  and  the  poor,                          The  basics of  need,               The fraud and  the mockery,                         The elements of greed.               These  put altogether                         As beauty in a verse,               Tell us no other tale                         But that of our Universe.
