Vanity Reborn

VANITY REBORN

Vanity.

Long locks of luxury
Taken, as 
Delilah
Stole strength
From Samson
Without asking,

He was unwilling.
 
He did not know 
His strength lay not in
The beauty of his hair
But rather by the 
Heavens in his soul,

Until he was tested and 
Shocked by life’s 
Bawdy insistence that 
He lose it, that
Vanity need be replaced with			
New growth,
New realities,
New beauty.
