it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty

fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
