Beauty Is The Essence Of Life Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

Beauty is the essence of life.
It dwells in imagination,
leaves shadows in perception
and strengthens my dedication
for welfare of earthly creatures
whose company is not less
than divine caress
attained by our ancient sages
living in the caves of the Himalayas
and craving to achieve it by the penance of decades.
