RELENTLESS BEAUTY



Relentless beauty why’d you come
To taunt me like incessant drum
Doggedly you follow me
Through open skies and desert breeze
Cruel beauty let me be

Relentless beauty
Can't you see
The canyon grief has cut in me?
Why mock me now with cloud capped wonder
Ancient awe and raging thunder
Careless beauty leave me be

Relentless beauty let me grieve
These dusty footprints briefly seen
Ruthless assassin, must I see
The purity within your greed?
How mountaintops and valleys low
Must bend within your ebb and flow
And only beauty is left behind

Relentless beauty show me why
I must learn to say goodbye
To celebrate an endless reckoning
And walk in beauty unrelenting
