Lost - for words

Beauty beyond description, an endless fantasy.
Reflections of my soul.
how vain the hope of capturing
the world as it is to me
and yet I pursue the futility, fluttering to the flame
a thirst clutching at my heart - desperate for the whole
A universe of glittering light, a world of swirling detail
What a terrible plight it is
to glimpse the divine
and then feel the words fail
Watching the perfection, touched in every way
The feathered sky , brimming ocean, a galaxy on high
And here I am, smitten – with nothing to say
