Beauty Is a Lonely Life

eBeauty Is a Lonely Lifef

 

(Or I Suffer for the Need)

 

-P-

 

Beauty is a lonely life �"

 

A broken way to be!

 

And I have paid a bitter price for seeing what I see

Within the rare and commonplace, in wonder, so divine!

 

That I am ever-guessing what is God’s,

 

Or only mine:

 

The light doth fall in every age; the light doth fall on Man;

But only those who seek the light will catch what light they can!

 

Such is a life at beauty’s beck; such is the life I lead �"

Though I have known my share of light,

 

It’s beauty that I need:

 

-

 

But there is primarily suffering

In the cause of beauty.
