Genesis

On a day when nothing pleases you,
not land, sea or sky - a vision,
a natural completeness
of nature unfolds.

Shedding all former perceptions,
you see a world unmasked,
its untarnished visage
now reflecting only perfection.

Before you, blossoms a reality,
an ageless beauty
that had yet to be imagined.

The purity cannot hold for long,
the world returns,
wearing its shadow-laced rags
once more,

but you remember,
and your eyes are clearer.
