Remember Beauty Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

Remember beauty, it shall last
Through all the withering of time.
Outward beauty is a mask
To please the senses and the eye,
Yet those with an awakened heart
See beauty in a mote of dust
And nowhere turn but she is there,
Of such a radiance the eye
Bereft of inner sight is blind.
Only the vision in the heart
Can truly see behind the veil
The youth that leaps in aged limbs,
The perfect form of the infirm,
The peace that lives in troubled souls,
The joy that made this stumbling world,
The inhabitant for whom we seek
Who lives in us unseen, unfelt
And carries us to heaven's heights.
