Poems old and new

Entry for August, 2023

Beauty forever


Flashes of eternal beauty
found everywhere in winsome variety.

Mountains, sentinels to my
significant city of destiny,

pristine Snow, sprawled like a tiger
with glimpses of granite stripes of wonder,

the unspoiled, fresh and cleansing
green trees standing for ages, pleasing,

endless rivers and rivulets
ebbing and flowing through plains and hamlets,

hillside flowers, like unseen, untouched belles,
the earth, the sun, the moon and the starry heavens,

the hope that countries and continents are one family
are some of my favorite sources of eternal beauty.
