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.
