"Beauty" is such a limited word in our modern vocabulary and has lost its salt overtime. But there is something true about "beauty" that has nothing to do with manicured fingernails or yards... beauty that enlightens, moves the soul, touches us deep. I don't know if I have ever memorized a poem, I can't think of one offhand. So I'm going to give it a try. I have always admired people who know poetry.. so hear goes...feel free to ask me how it's going.
"I am Like a Kite" by Ellen Porter
I am like a kite
in the hands of God.
She runs with me
holding the string
and blowing
Her sweet breath
into my body
like bellows to fire.
I soar in the
dappled sky blue
laughing my utter delight
and wonder
what will become of me
if the Beloved
gets tired and
runs out of breath
