The Beauty of a Room

The Beauty of a Room is Ross Keating’s third book of poems. As with his second collection, Piling up Boxes (2020), it announces the beginnings of a new poetry in Australia that gives voice to the experience of living with a spiritual Master, internally. There is a freshness here, a vitality, a sense of humour, and a love for a very personal Beloved who is the intimate presence and guide residing in the heart of the poet.
 
The Beauty of a Room

The beauty
of a room
is the presence
of my Beloved.

The beauty
of nature
is a reminder
of my Beloved.

The beauty
of a poem
is the playfulness
of my Beloved.
