Gert Strydom - Beautiful

Beautiful is the rising sun
that touches the dark world
glowing red hot,
like a coal from the fire
of the gods

Beautiful is the crystal blue sky
that stretches to the horizon,
with its purity and brings serenity
to every living thing.

Beautiful is the yellow moon
that awakens dreams,
of how wondrous
life on this earth
really is.

Beautiful is a wave
crashing over a rocky shore,
that sprays the intensity
and mysteries of nature
on the earth.

Yet all of these things
fade away into insignificance
against the smile on your face
and nothing can describe,
the light and expression
in your golden eyes.

You are far more
than beautiful to me
and no white Lily
or dark red Rose,
will ever hold
the same significance
that you bring to me.

When all is said and done
my life is completely empty
when you’re gone,
but when you are with me
life plays like the sweetest melody
and my greatest gift from life is you.

Gert Strydom
