Flawless
March 18, 2012
Silvery white light brightens
Blackness below
You see all
You know all
Craters cover your surface
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful
The tide ebbs when you are far
And when you are close,
Waves the size of mountains pass
Leaving destruction, broken homes.
You own scrapes and scars
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful
Pyramids were built in your honor
Rituals performed for you
With age the crumble
As do you
Your glittery soft surface, easily damaged
And yet
You have no flaws
You are beautiful
