it was darken day in the dawn she was clothed her heart mind naked beneath her vessel skin her spirit soul time present fleeting flesh self-dying stilled spiritually beautiful yet flesh aging spirit wages war skin is sagging humanity only lust after a seen body hurry while the flesh is still tight wretched men savor to get that flesh while it’s young, fresh, firm beautiful the body not that good it’s the spirit that last what she looked like as 33 now she's broken and gasp oh ugly obese wrinkle woman yonder man should just see himself in the mirror see the same things he sees in her are the things he's gleaned also 7/13/23 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2023©

Alas, we're all beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. In Him all things are made beautifully wholly-wholesume ever worthy. To God be the glory. The premise and references of lust in my poem about the opposite side admiration complacency and thinking a thing negatively all the time wanting and unrighteous way perverting Beauty in wantingness and in pride. The other take who am we to call not are elder aged Beloved seniors beautiful NOT they are in Jesus Beautiful in Jesus name Amen

God wants us to see the inner beauty. He does provide the outer beauty as well. There is something to be said for both…the wholeness…the wholesomeness. We search for beauty but beauty is not lust. Love those first two lines, especially “it was darken day in the dawn” We all want to be loved.
