We ache for Beauty

Beauty  beheld
          in pupils
                     irises
                     expanding Spirit’s filaments
   

    mind 
            deciphers
                          delicate 
                          impressions        
                              flowering nerve shiverings 

heart petals unwrinkle exposing tender core
            temporarily holds what is 
                                  to falter, fade
                                  then dissipate 
                
 senses alert in 
                    perceptual observation 
                         bows gratitude 

                  personality evaporates

as Beauty returns  

                              into Source’s palms
we 
       ache
                 for
                        a raw rare repeat ~

I love "flowering nerve shiverings " - one's Beauty in Spirit can be felt over and over...with each truth, by personality- this is inspiring and breathtaking, the last line, a wow, Ghairo. <3
