Beautiful Because
by Philip F De Pinto
The day is beautiful
Because it is finite
As is the sky above
And Terra below
As is love
As is the night you
Admitted you loved me
By more than wine and candlelight
And when you said
I went to your head
What you were meaning to say
Is that the things you
Were saying were finite
Therefore beautiful
Though love held us hostage
It did so with finite hands
An impermanence
Which rendered our hands beautiful
As your eyes
Pouring their fine jade
Into mine
Inebriating mine
Time after time
An inebriation
Which was finite
As this sky
And Terra below
As is love
As thinks not
In infinite terms
As would have rendered us
Not beautiful
But wretched and unsightly
