Escape To Beauty

I
Excellence in service, equalities
In society: access to every utility
Makes men and me dependent
Until depending on undependables
Makes us meek, mad or uncivilized
But for those accidental attractions

II
Like stars at night, without man's light
Beautiful, delicious darkness
Sets off the diamonds in domed Crown
Sliver of a moon makes memories
Old and new about the heaven, universe
Thank you South Africa (Eskom) for failures
Your corrupt business model takes us back
(to beauty as God meant it for we to see)

Lisa Ricci Date: 10/5/2022 8:18:00 AM Hello Anil. Always do you see the good and light even where this is bad or darkness. Allow me to say may we all see and escape to beauty wherever we find it because it is there and yes I agree it is there right from the onset to which I would love the world to go back there to where God intended.

I enjoyed your LOVE poem where you have special sapphires (green or blue, doesnt matter) and other gems from your good man there (and of course, SMILE - from Jesus). THe connectivity died here in S. Africa ... and my comment may not have survived on your poem. Hence this response. Love & Healing Hands

Thomas Wells Date: 10/3/2022 8:48:00 PM Excellent poetry! "Makes men and me dependent Until depending on the undependables" We so easily lose our connection to the natural world, to the sheer beauty of the universe. That's how I read this. It is important to return and reconnect to nature where we rightly belong. - Thomas Login to Reply Anil Deo Date: 10/4/2022 7:14:00 PM many thanks Dr. Wells. Always humble in your generosity
