Aware is a poem by D.H. Lawrence with meaning that directly relates to the beauty of what is so natural. This beauty is the true beauty of the world that God has made. In true form, Lawrence writes of the Moon as if it is an enchanting woman. His describes his encounter with the Moon as a heart-stopping moment that one wishes would last forever. He is astounded by the magnificence of this woman. "Emerging white and exquisite; and I in amaze." As he stares, truly love-struck, he longs for her attention. Her mystery is captivating and Lawrence's longing grows stronger. As she radiates the twilight evening sky, she prepares for departure. "I follow her down the night, begging her not to depart."
Lawrence impresed me with his skill that can be seen in each of his poems. He has a natural way of breathing life into poetry. In "Aware," Lawrence is captivated by such natural beauty, that is one of the most natural things in this world, the Moon. Man has no control over the waning and waxing of the moon. Man cannot decide when, where, or how the Moon rises. He cannot take away the Moon's dominance of the night sky. There is beauty in this nature, beauty in this strength. The ability to be naturally beautiful, conquer, and radiate is always fascinating to man. Like spring flowers, a warm summer rain, crisp falling leaves, or a winter wonderland; we want beauty to never fade, to never leave us. The most memorable beauty is the beauty that leaves us, but it never truly departs. Beauty is ever-changing and always visiting, even if only until dawn.
