There Better Be

Beauty demands Dedication.
Dedication is Beautiful.

Beauty invites introspection—
that inspection
enlightens Beauty.

Truth can be Beautiful—
but Beauty
demands Truth.

Authenticity is essential.
An artist’s tool.

Layering is also an artist’s tool.
It is not the same
as a craftsman’s intricate handwork,
a gardener’s tending,
a knitter’s clicking sticks,
a woodworker’s precision,
a quilter’s patchwork reimagined—
But it holds
a simple beauty
of its own.

That layering—
we all do,
in some form
or fashion,
to create
Truth and Beauty.

Each layer,
a new story
in our personal lives.

Ever been accused of
being too sensitive?

That—
is a compliment.

A gift
of personal
and emotional perception.
Rare.
Valued.

One you
Own.
One you
Create.
One you
Earn.

Another layer—
of being human.

Is there a box
big enough
to present
the Beauty
You gift?

Not a chance.

Is there a portal
wide enough
to carry through
your Beauty—
and let it
inspire us?

There damn sure
Better be—

Because,
I’m right in
the center of
the maelstrom
of swirling layers.

my Lady,
my Muse.

After all—

It’s not just
What you
Create.

It’s also
What you
Share.

And,
What I See
In You.

My heavenly gardener.

Breathe
In—

Hold it.

Breathe
Out—

Hold it.

See!
The
Light.

See!
and
appreciate
Beauty.

Experience!
Truth.

And—
I,
will
see,
you.

I hope—

You see.
How much…
