Beauty
~~~~ BEAUTY ~~~~
The dirt holds firm for roots of grass
Yet worms and bugs can wiggle through
Their dark secret world en masse
To dine on this soils' rich brew
~~~~
Birds' beaks pierce this world for pleasure
Without cracks to their vital protrusion
For a chance to score underground treasures
The dirt will yield without exclusion
~~~~
Birds then soar from nutrition obtained
To seek vines ripe with berries for free
Which Gods' Earth and owners maintained
Or suck nectar as the case may be
~~~~
Now deposit seeds with wild abandon
Wherever an whenever they choose
Be it field, valley or canyon
Any tree awaits for shelter or snooze
~~~~
BEAUTY has been spread from high above
Now petals and buds all over the place
Which will provide such comfort
Be it in casket or in vase
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
BEAUTY
