The League of Beauty

They are everywhere, the partners
and the intimates of this our union,
those who know the worth of beauty
and who therefore are subscribed to love
forever with a constancy transcending
the material universe with all its vague illusions
that are bound to ever lose to beauty’s inner worth
that overcomes all egoistic artifice
of vanity, mundane ambition, greed and folly,
to forever and continually restore the order
of life’s only everlasting law of all existence,
that the truth of love and beauty is the only league that holds
ensuring life and nature and survival,
and that nothing can withstand the force of love.
