beauty glorifying nature

a snow-capped palisade

a river-blessed dale

every inch exalted

a regal condor sharing its firmament

a wee garden gnat

an august elephant

trembling from a bee sting

a blue whale toe-dancing

atop a school of anchovies

every creature blessed

from the tiny atom

to the mammoth Jupiter

all share in being blessed

why do we destroy

a glory artistically revealed
