Pure Heart is a Spotless Mirror

"The pure heart is a spotless mirror in which images of infinite beauty are reflected,” Rumi Placed 6th in: Mirror Poetry Contest Sponsored by Sara Kendrick Pure Heart is a Spotless Mirror Outer beauty shines for a day Like flowers that fade away And curls in winter with dismay Or shrinks along the highway. It may shine through mirror of eyes, That captivate a yawning soul Entrances it up to the sky Just to accomplish its own goal. It may shine through mirror of cheeks That display enlivening smiles Verging on the Angelique And embracing savoury styles. But a heart that`s pure and perfect Shines like a clean spotless mirror, Infinite beauty does reflect That endears any onlooker. A pure heart framed by the divine Is rare on earth or ocean, It mirrors beauty that`s sublime And like angels lies in heaven.
