Beauty's Call

The constellations rise and set,
    The waves soar high and fall
While mermaids spread their artful net
    To answer beauty’s call. 

The forest’s mantle longs to fade,
    The ship of childhood sails
When lovers grasp that they were made
    To merge their lonesome trails. 

The weight of life then thirsts for rain,
    The night awaits the moon
Though man attempts to trade, in vain,
    Life’s evening for its noon.
