Beauty is an element That most don’t recognize… Equating it with something To titillate the eyes. If this is your conception- Forgive me, but I must- Tell you, you’re mistaken. For this is merely lust. Beauty, on the other hand- Is much like cheese or wines… Only age instills it- Impurity refines. Beauty stands the test of time- When hair turns white, or grey, As the outer tends to fade away- The inner’s on display. Don’t fall prey to whimsey- Or Cupid’s foolish dart… When beauty truly comes to your way- You will know it in your heart. [This message has been edited by Gunslinger (08-15-2019 05:28 PM).] |

Don't know why this is sitting on a goose egg. I think it is a beautiful poem! Glad you wrote it. ~L |

ah, physical beauty is definitely circumspect... and not sure just how much true beauty is ever seen in this world today, in this age of instant gratification, but it is as you say... known to the heart when it is revealed to those who are looking. |

Gunslinger - Beauty, like Love, often swirls like dust and seeks its own cracks of entry into the human heart; by ear, touch or eye etc. Best thing to do in either case is open your arms wide, take a deep breath and let your heart yell......INCOMING! It'll change the pulse of the day at any age! Hallelujah! Thanks for sharing. Namyh |
