All things attract
Say that all things attract
say that there is method
in beauty
that there is purpose too
and all art is found
actively discovered
and chosen and pulled out
from anonymity and displayed
paraded before the senses
and that there is always
measurement and dimension
intensities and degrees
of subtlety and that sounds
and colours and textures
and shapes and tastes
on the tongue all rhyme
that the eye and the ear
bind it all together
and have done so
from the moment
that the mind was born
and with it love
and the walls of caves
were filled with
sensual narrative
and that dance and music
and song are all
in the nature of breath
John Lyons
