Our bodies can be beautiful,
With skin so smooth and glowing.
Bodies shaped most perfectly,
And hair so softly flowing.
Our bodies can be quite a sight,
With skin yellowed and wrinkled.
Bodies plump with dimples,
And hair grown sparse and crinkled.
But if you can be bothered,
To look deep within one's soul.
You will find true beauty,
Is that which makes them whole.
Deep inside each one of us,
Is innocence unharmed.
Unscathed by life's experiences,
A child, so rightly charmed.
Free to dance in day lit meadows,
And to smell the flowers' scent.
Free to dance under midnight's stars,
For darkness is yet spent.
A light that once illumined us,
And set us all aglow.
Now flickers deep within our soul,
Hold tight, and don't let go.
Author notes
Pretty simple, perhaps I would have been better off not trying to write a poem here. The thought I wanted to express is that there is great beauty in the truth. If you want to find the truth, you have to go to the spiritual level of a person....for the outside, what we often see of people, is just a product of life...often not the truth of what is.
