Where is Beauty

Where is Beauty?
Sold in the market place
of a brutal culture
numbed by greed
Prostituted
Buried in the mindless drone
of televisions
of computers
of video games
It has been abandoned
In the desolate wasteland
of material desire
But it survives
In a childs hug for his grandfather
In the eyes of a dove
bathing herself
in a soft warm rain
In the churning surf
Of a Northern California beach
Just after a storm
In the damp floor of a redwood grove
So dark, so deep, so cool
In wisdom
In knowing
In us all
And for us all
In the love of creation
And in creations love
Beauty is here
