Beauty

"Beauty is only skin deep", At least, that's what they say. Certainly a colorful disposition, Will never grow old and gray. Even those with cracks, Let the inner light shine through. So yes, beneath layers of epidermis, There is a one and only you. Some people show their beauty, To everyone they meet. Some will need a bit more time, Before they find their feet. Yet others seem so stony, Behind their rusty eyes. But the truth of their patina, Shows a heart they can't deny. A budding heart is so sincere, Breeding splendor in the mind. And, breathtaking as it unfurls, In the soul of our design. Held precious by its' beholder, In any given space. Proves that even in the darkness, We're bound by radiance and grace.
