A personal lens: glass bending rays <br />That gave one that day's news <br />Saying each and every day, <br />Just remember you are standing <br />On a planet that's evolving. <br />How beautiful, she thought, what distance does <br />For water, the view from above or afar. <br />In last night's dream, they were back again <br />At the beginning. She was a child <br />And he was a child. <br />A plane lit down and left her there. <br />Cold whitening the white sky whiter. <br />Then a scalpel cut her open for all the world <br />To be a sea.<br /><br />Mary Jo Bang<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-beautiful-9/
