What is Beauty?

If at the sight of beauty

Men fall, and women envy...

And at that same sight

Beauty becomes a curse and a burden.

Is it really valuable?

If Beauty claims to fit in

Will it even stand out?

And if it stands out

Will it even fit anywhere?

Why must beauty be so desired

And yet be a ball and chain filled with pain and lust.

Beauty is found in centuries for a lifetime

with memories untold from Queen Esther to Helen Of Troy, and Princess Diana

yet lost in the blink of an eye

with an accident, an argument, a death or despair...

And so, we begin once

again......

What is beauty?
