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)

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.

shalom, shalom, shalom! Lisa, Lisa, LIsa. 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

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

Stars and planets can be admired most when there is no light, even in cities.

A power cut? able to view the heavens at night. Love the way you weave your words Anil. May your star shine forever.

Something beautiful though there be chaos. …takes us back to beauty as God meant us to see.

Yes, Kim, God surely placed stars, planets, moons, meteors ... Where He and all creation might best see/ experience His handiwork. Thanx much. Peace, Paz
