What we see


Wherever we look, we have the choice 
To see beauty or destruction; 
To feel, echoing within us, 
The ache of wounds unhealed by time 
Or to wonder at magnificence; 
The unstudied complexity 
 And loveliness of a life well-lived 
Despite all the inevitable 
Depredations and imperfections.
