Beautiful

Bewitching and beguiling in nature and in art,
Every where the handicraft of God imparts
Alluring scenes for eyes to taste,
Uplifting spirits. Gifts not to be consumed in haste;
They must be savored, full and slow,
Imbibed into the eye and mind, tableaus
Filled with soul food, rich and sweet,
Ubiquitous treasures found down any street
Love treads with open eyes and heart.
