Rise and Fall of Beauties



Rise and fall of beauties

And so in a city of beauty,
There once lived her majesty,
Her dignitaries full of royalties,
And a people whose taste is quality

But suddenly the beauty 
Became quaint and outlandish falling
The people filled with perplexities
Driven here and there seeking 
For solution and remedies
To their fading beauty,

Meet a magician
Whose way for a cure was
An enchantment

And so he succeeded in getting all
into a deep sleep
Leaving only her majesty.
Enslave by loneliness
And years of impatience 
For a cure she took of the portion 
To join her people to end their ordeals

life full of ups!
And uncertain falls

Only the patient
Knows the essence
Of the present 
Falling Pale extent.

For change is
constant.

But Who can wait?
In the waiting 
Lies the making
And in the making 
Lies the baking
In the baking
Lies the rising
Of life Falling beauty.

Wow, a super lovely poem. I suppose it can be taken to include the message that beauty lies in the present moment. I was entralled by the final verse, it's breath taking progression is brilliant. It looks like an inspiration on paper! Ta, Gideon
