The Beauty Way

Take the heart into consideration of this plight.
Hear the beauty that is shaped inside so true.
Examine what its design completes so right.

Blind yourself to visions your eyes see too.
Envelop what is not seen but felt by you.
Answer the question of what you seek.
Untie the bonds; bring forward the clue.
Take heed of their sorrows, you know who?
Yes, touch the beauty that rises from the meek.

Wonderful beauty will be found within a heart.
Any outward beauty may be so tortured apart.
Yes, beguile the glance, which is seen from start.

Dear Cecil, very nice poem! What we feel and who we are inside is so much more important! Check out my similar verse, "Wrappings Give Way." Happy Valentine's Day! Carolyn
