The Unbearable Brightness of Beauty

Beauty, your colours
Wash the eye with paint and pain
In rainbow prisms
*
Beauty, your music
Astounds the ear to silence
In cadenced rhythm
*
Beauty, your raw touch
Stirs the flesh to birth and death
In passion driven
*
Beauty, your deep scent
Calls forth sudden memory
In flash unbidden
*
Beauty, your rich taste
Licks the tongue to wild delight
In manna given
*
Beauty, your glory
Ripples water, shatters stones
In revelation
