Beauty


Creation brought to birth
in the crucible of pain,
both physical and mental,
to bring art into being.
Upon the hob of hurt,
we simmer what we know,
and turn it with a pen or brush
into something new.
The pot in brutal boiling,
brings forth archetypal grace,
which transforms roiling demons;
dilutes the power of rage.
From horror then comes beauty,
the art of life revealed,
in Self and Soul and artefact;
the truth, forever held.

  1. creation is beauty and often is born in pain or at least messy circumstances....always makes me think of birth which certainly fits that description...

  3. I know that beauty always is born in pain...and beauty comes out of labour (I assume a woman would know even more of that) ...
