Eternal State Of Beauty

While Phoebus plucks soft melancholy tune
on old guitar, his grandfather once built,
beneath the college-campus willow tree,
Fauna photographs flowers by brick walls,
fascinated by the contrast in shape and color
that represents humanity in nature.

Strolling together in the alleyway
that winds for miles between brick office buildings,
Phoebus and Fauna chat about how art
frames normal scenes of the everyday world
with magic beauty of the focused eye,
imbuing gloomy scenes with divine glow.

Holding the camera before her face,
Fauna perceives how frame of reference
seems to transform the filthy alleyway
of trashcans and poles entangled with wires
from bleak hellscape to sacred paradise
luminated with mystic fairy light.

The way beams of light from the glaring sun
slant through clouds to glow on the wretched brick,
highlighting preternatural forms of desire
with ghostly shimmer of nostalgic fear,
enchants her heart with ennui of respect
for beauty based on shadow of despair.

Approaching large glass window of the bank,
that reflects the delicate boat-shaped moon
which gleams before dawn by the Morning Star,
Phoebus and Fauna see ghosts of their souls,
Phoebe and Faunus, gazing back at them,
so they wave to their opposite-world selves.

Since our genders are fluid as the sea,
swirling with contradictory emotions
that drive us to reproduce immortal genes
in new organic packages of hope
through which we humans evolve into God,
we explore this planet with loving eyes.

While Faunus inspects bright blue azurite,
he pries from jagged cavern wall of Hell,
Phoebe photographs Queen Persephone
as she poses in long elegant gowns
to capture essence of her goddess spirit
because she radiates beauty of the heart.

With every photograph she snaps with care
Fauna chronicles our changing world
with timeless images of sacred truth
which preserves within frame of humble awe
essential nature of our hungry hearts
when we invent eternal state of beauty.
