PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is a beauty in mankind, so rare

and unique

that it almost bends the ear

to complete silence

A rare but delicate

harmonic beauty, an octave or two

above

the longing voice of angels

Like the opal notes

of a violin,

in the frosted cantons of a winter evening

As inspiring as a waterfall

in the heat of day

to a broken weary soldier, with

a burning thirst

A triumph of triumphs

even,

in the deepest defeats

That holds its place among

the stars

like an ornament, placed among the angels

And yet, with all of our knowing

it somehow

remains, unknowable – unweighable

in its stellar magnitude

For the weight of a human

soul,

is beyond measure

Even, side by side

with all

the other stuff that matters
