Behold, for I had gazed on real true beauty I had seen it with the dawn of inner sight My minds soaring wingless flight So deep, yet shone in the darkest of night
I look far beyond the protective thin layer That captures many, like Satan’s slayer Its depth cannot hide, like Icebergs flow Not cold, like winters iced frozen snow
It radiated out every pore of ones being All knowing and forever all seeing It shines so brightly in compassioned eyes Not concealed in false clothing wearing the Devils disguise
It has no need of self perceived vanity It does not sap you, nor bleed your sanity No cloak of deceit for it to wear It lays its soul out to you, open, bare
If you do not see then surely you are blind Your life spent in torment of the shallow kind Seek far beneath that ageing outer shell Your heart will not lie, it can always tell
Thank you Rob, for being the kind of man who sees a person for who they truley are..and not just the vessel, in which the soul inhabits. There is so much we can see in ones eyes,that tells the content of their heart. Thanx for this tender poem, I loved it! nancy
Wonderful poem! Alludes to many perspectives. Great choice of words and rhyme. Didactic message.

Beauty is only skin deep.Look not on Beauty or stature,but look deep inside the heart,the soul.Experience is the best teacher.Thanks for the thoughts you share.Paloma
