Poetry:

The Meaning in Life... The Cause of Beauty.

Do you see it, Do you see Beauty sitting peacefully in our lives?
Do you dream it wings and love and soaring free?
Do you hear me, Do you hear my soul calling to you?
Can you feel, Can you feel me longing
   to spill into your heart?

Does it burn in you? Can you talk in my heart's painful off pattern?
Can you feel my heart's Burning need? Can you be...
Please, Can you stay forever here to listen? Do you want to tell me?...
   Do you realize?

The clouds of gray. A rain of brilliant white.
The electricity of snowy air...
A face before Dreams and a face before Life...
The warmth forever shining from Her soul.
   Do the sun's tears bleed into you too?

Do Seraphs make your surroundings, and Beauty your life?
Can you even hear me speaking?
Does Its joy hurt?
   I never want it to leave... Please!

Do you realize you've done this to me?
Do you realize this is my part of you?
Do you realize... I love you!
