Imbued With Hope

Perfection's reserved for God we mortals must deal with less. For beauty's more than you see and lives in souls others bless. Flattery fuels conceit with its perfusion of lies. For passion's prerequisites aren't meant to recruit the wise. Feelings of loneliness are held hostage within the heart. For reality is harsh crushing dreams before they start. But life is imbued with hope, for every soul is a gem. Who can see its true beauty with only eyes to guide them? When you believe in yourself, pangs of crippling self-doubt cease. And feeling confident, your odds of finding love increase. (Quatrain) 1/28/2015

Not much of a review, more like a lecture on free verse. Emile.
