Oh, nature! Who hath seen thee but admiring eyes Why doth thou not speak of thy own beauty? Hath thou no voice? The tiger knows not of her beautiful stripes Nor can the horse contemplate the grace of his stride And no autumn was ever heard boasting of her splendid colors Surely the earth in her mysterious path through the heavens will regale us with shameless self praise Or perhaps the rainbow will whisper in our ears the secrets of her prismatic colors Yet creation is given no tongue with which to speak and lives as a blind man who cannot behold his reflection in a glass But weep not my beloved sun, moon, and stars.. For I have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mouth with which to speak And I will voice praises for you I will listen for what you cannot hear And I will see myself, in your still ponds for I am a wandering rebel.. and there is none like me~

The undeniable beauty of nature is in the eye of the beholder and the poet's beauty is in the point of his pen.
