Rhapsody

The essence of her beauty

A glance, enough, to capture heart, let all bow down in thrall

But, that is not enough to claim the essence of it all

For in that beauty lies a depth unknown to all but one

There, shining bright, deep in her heart, it rivals even sun

'Tis not the beauty of the shell, so beautiful indeed

But, glowing deep within a life, that struggles to be freed

So well borne in measured terms, the pain and all the strife

For essence of her beauty is the beauty of this life

The bride of life, she lives it, bearing pent up life's demand

No time is wasted on the chore to live to understand

But, seizes moment, day by day, the essence is to live

Embracing each new moment with all that which she can give

Don't waste her time with ruminations on eternity

For, life is lived by moments lived, in essence, don't you see

An ache goes out to seek that essence each and every day

Aspiring to the love of her, in her so wondrous way
