Camouflaged Beauty

Camouflaged Beauty

Before ‘essence comes existence’ existential beauty in the

Eye of the beholder and in the making when fragments disperse

And grimy misunderstanding of what life is about to become is

United in shards of stained glass mosaic cleaned from smudge

Total eclipse of the mind in which philosophy confuses Yang

Yin with effortless unchallenged order un-troublesome trifle



                       In polar complements I trust and with shadow comes light

                       Nothing is ugly as silver lining may well turn to gold at the


Dawn a rainbow bowing in grace and distinguished disguise

Icicles trigger change warm reactive blood flow of heart mind

Soul spirit and essence once existence is lived agentic retold 

Gripped by the thorns the horns that threaten to pierce

Unblocked restrictions lighten the load and point to the journey

Irritating no doubt but sufficient and necessary to turn black

Sludge of melancholic depression into what it holds beyond  

Existential angst to savour and befriend it for what it contains
