Besides
Besides the range of mountains
and the gauntlet of the skies,
and the briny depth of oceans
and the full moon on the rise…
Besides the mind in motion
and the eyes that see the light,
and the journey into being
and the beauty of the night...
Besides the feel of satin
and the flesh that lives to yield,
and the harvest of the epoch
and the lushness of the field…
Besides the lure of treasure
and the promises of kings,
and the custody of twilight
and the beat of angel wings…
Besides the new day dawning
and the zest of morning dew,
and the ultimate conclusion,
all is nothing next to you.
