Dear Friend,
You are no part of a contemporary scene,
but warm and gentle, loving, poised
with thoughts bright, reserved, dignified
in mannerism and in style:
ah, the pure stream has found
its path in the timeless qualities
of joy, wisdom, vitality, love
and strength of mind!
Ask, what has “time” to do with beauty?
Is not Beauty a transparency found
alone in the splendor of Soul
and goes forth expressed in words,
and deeds, as a nobility
undefined, … and unbound?
... I’m musing over paradoxes:
Of the notions of youth! How aged
some appear as if standing
before a scaffold, because
the thought is sadly scorched:
it fears “old” and thus feels old.
Now, tell me, “What is this -- about?”
I’m pondering the bold design of God!
Could His blueprint be useless,
unfit to glow, unable within to grow?
Thought is creative!
What if a mind convinced
of dark clouds hovering over
would make a belief come true?
... Did not Job say:
“The thing which I greatly feared
is come upon me?“
Buoyancy, freshness, fullness of life,
those divine graces which lift
the banner of agelessness high
conquer self-destructive emotions,
and thus …a life made brighter and lighter,
a love instilled for every youthful grace
where we find a greater delight within
than counting every dark fear’s mace!
And earthly dreams broken: Justify
the love of Jesus for the Christ,
and the price he paid for our victories open …
