True Beauty

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. heart wings Thanx for this tender poem, I loved it!hug wine bouquet nancywave

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.Palomahug
