Proudly Naked

In the dark Beyond the reach of light When the day is clothed in black cover And color, height and size exit the stage When all, without exception is levered By the highest commonest decimal of nudity Devoid of illusion of furs and feathers Tempting the eyes of shamefulness and shamelessness In dead dark night nakedness We return to beings called human United with the effervescent rhythms of nature A turn, and back behind the beginning, we are Turning the time to timeless Eden Stripped of all trappings and wrappings Of façade and fallacy of fashion; Vile fame and vain fortune Base beauty of clothed eyes We become knotted with the elements Stark naked as we once were When nude culture was the couture In the stark dark night We stand naked and true Naked; pristine, pure and proud
