Michael Degenhardt Poet Free verse

Beauty Beheld

Step from the shadows that hide the true you
Let your image reflect the light that shines from within your soul
As your face is merely a reflection of that which is within
Beauty
Before the face was seen, your heart revealed the you
That presence, those qualities, that light up rooms
The same that warm others hearts, for the face we now see is
Beauty
