Lord of Beauty
What magic infuses the frangipani
with a luscious scent so pure,
or, a twilight with pink pellucid rays ?
The same that makes
a stone menagerie of fossils,
or ripples a mockingbird’s wing
with faint vermillion fires.
Inherent in us this memory of natural beauty
handed-down along Ancestral lines
Each thing on earth beholden to the same Creator.
