Keats Wrote "An Ode To A Grecian Urn"
His best line is "Beauty is truth and truth beauty."
But i say, YOUTH is beauty and beauty youth.
(Doesn't something old yet lovely seem eternally young??)
I was at DollarTree the other day - what a glimpse of eternity i caught !!
There she was - fairest of all fair maidens:
Truest of all that is true and right and noble.
She acted as tho she didn't know she was beautiful.
But she must have known - how could she not ??
There i was, in the presence of the Goddess,
the Ruler of heaven Herself!
We were in DollarTree - of all places.
Just a few steps apart from each other !
DollarTree is where everything is a buck.
Think of the irony: all that price equality - disrupted by the Presence of incalculable Value.
Total treasure in human form.
What's that old saying, "You can't see God and live."
Or is it: "If you see God, you'll die."
Well, either way its wrong - I know that much now.
For I HAVE seen God - or rather the Goddess - and I'm alive to tell about it !!
As she read the captions on the greeting cards in aisle 3, i witnessed her profile.
I spied out her beauty, my eyes feasting on her femininity.
Those eyes, those lips - and, yes, that naked neck !!
But when she looked my way, i turned away!!
I didn't need her to become selfconscious.
Oh the glory of those few moments we had together - on the surface we were shopping, but inwardly i was having an epiphany:
What old man like me needs sexual intercourse when instead there's something far greater -
The chance to be in the presence of YOUTH,
The pristine presence of a young woman in summer shorts, sleeveless top -
Pure INNOCENCE standing just a few feet away !!
But i say, YOUTH is beauty and beauty youth.
