Your Face
(c) 2010 by Heidrun Beer
buildings, people, nature pale when you appear.
as if it were a lens of glass, your face so dear
unites all beauty and then sends it on, to sear
my heart and stir my soul.
beauty that burns away all tiredness and dirt
that fills a need no pleasure can divert
that builds a strength no enemy can hurt
to do my work and play my role.
