Wounded by Beauty | Carlyle R. Phelps

Wounded by Beauty:

Beauty is the image of Love.
She’s the reference to the referent;
Glowing like the morning Sun’s rays—
Modestly peeking before His procession.

Beauty is the eye of Love.
She’s a window to His creative energy;
Iconing uncreated forms of providence—
Outwardly flowing from eternity.

Beauty is the scent of Love.
She’s the forerunner to the Master;
Predicting His coming and following after—
Boldly censing with an array of flowers.

I am wounded by Beauty;
She humbles my pride without trying—
She pricks my heart without piercing—
She takes my breath without warning—
She is the warmth I feel before Love’s fire consumes me.
