Beauty is heard from
composer's sounds,
it is seen through
the artist's hand.
Its stay may
be ephemeral,
or lie centuries
over the land.
It is felt in
the stillness
of the night,
and comes from
the poet's pen.
But the truest
beauty to
be found,
exists in the
souls of men.

Excellent and true......
ReplyDeleteSo true, Dave! I've always loved this Van Gogh quote: "I feel now that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."
ReplyDeleteanother good one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem. You're right - real beauty is that inexplicable piece of human nature inside all of us.
