Notes About The Poem

Beauty

Beauty

The fields of lavender
     purge their purple souls
           in rolling rows
                as they steal your breath.

She was once like they...
     transparent, innocent of knowing
           her beauty matched theirs 
                 and could make you weep.

In a vast sea of scents and sights
     poetry floats to the top
            gathering sunrays
                   as if they were tangible.
