Beautiful Things

By Claudia Wysocky

Beauty: Something so rare to this world;

For beauty only lives in the mind of its beholder,

And the beholder’s gaze be not wiser, nor older—

Than she, the Universe, from which inside her we smolder.

Simple minds cannot admire true beauty,

It is not an object that can be coveted;

Oh!—Simple minds you cannot see,

Beauty is too not something someone did.

It is what keeps me living;

The reason as to why I subsist—

Do not try to comprehend,

Lest your reality be betwixt.

For I am the true beholder,

And only I know what beauty is. . .
