Searching for Beauty I
I’ve looked through old photos
And very few hint at the beauty
I lived with all those years.
Consider also beautiful Terri
Schiavo and then the brain
Damage and loss of what it
Was that had made her beautiful
As though with one act she
Was accelerated into old
Age. Michael, not going
Through that with her
Let her go. He seemed
To want her gone -- as but
Hints were left. Beauty
Is still an absolute good
Which I could see in her
Smile and her eyes, even
Hear in her weak voice
Telling me things I wanted
To hear after watching
Over her all those years.
