Veils make the beautiful even more so<\/p>\n
and the ugly beautiful<\/p>\n
Obscuring flaws and highlighting perfection<\/p>\n
\nThe gentle slope of a nose<\/p>\n
a mountain.<\/p>\n
The rounded globe of a cheek<\/p>\n
a hill.<\/p>\n
The long, smooth line of a throat<\/p>\n
a river.
\n <\/p>\n
The fog covers a field<\/p>\n
in a thin, silken veil.<\/p>\n
The budding plants peek out<\/p>\n
like sultry, smoky eyes.<\/p>\n
When the veil is drawn<\/p>\n
the crop reveals its nurturing bounty.<\/p>\n
\nClouds cover the eyes of the sky<\/p>\n
The sun and moon staring, unblinking<\/p>\n
down on the Earth<\/p>\n
Wispy, white lace obscuring, but not concealing,<\/p>\n
the face of the heavens<\/p>\n
\nThe beautiful curve of the hills<\/p>\n
matched by the smooth, blue face<\/p>\n
of the sky<\/p>\n
makes a Hellenic beauty<\/p>\n
unmarred, unblemished by make-up<\/p>\n
caked and piled high<\/p>\n
\nSo many plastic babes in our modern world<\/p>\n
the face of the Earth is refreshing<\/p>\n
to look upon, yet only through the veil<\/p>\n
of mist and vapor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
