Can Beauty Remain Beauty? Poem by Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie

Can Beauty Remain Beauty?

Rating: 5.0


Can beauty remain beauty without light?
No beauty survives without light in sight
To endure the pangs sharp of age in flight,
For fair with folly dead plunges at night.

When beauty blooms into beauty divine,
Showered with wisdom married to light to shine,
To border of no ending on the line,
Lifted is beauty's life onto cloud nine.

Life valued more in thought than gold man eyes,
Beats thrones, castles held in esteem that dies.

Vessels with covetousness, wrath, spite, lust, pride,
Greed, sloth do sink into oblivion wide.

Life is nature, who stores light in sublime.
Such beauty saved as truth lives on with time.

A lovely poem. The light of awareness must shine in order for beauty to be perceived as beautiful and this very lyrical poem shares that truth with honesty and charm. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
