Choice Virtues


Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
-Theodore Roethke 

What is beauty?
What is love?
What is color?
What is art?

What is laughter?
What is sunshine?
What is rustling
In my heart?

What is real?
What is romance?
What is magic?
What is true?

What are raindrops?
What are roses?
What are puppies?
What are you?

What is light?
What is time?
What is space?
What's a star?

What makes
The heavens sing
Everywhere 
You are? 

by Richard W. Bray
