EXPLORING THE CONCEPT OF BEAUTY

Consoling, exhilarating and appealing,

Astounding, jaw- dropping, mirror- cracking

Oh, beauty, thee provokes us in many ways,

Compelling all to gaze at you with amaze.

Some gaze at with eyes so profane,

Disturbed, some regard with disdain,

Some secretly admire but choose to feign,

But all yields to thy boundless reign.

Some are confused in their delusion,

Think of a veil hidden face as another moon,

What lies in the eyes of one beholder, 

Not necessarily stir passion to smoulder.

Every single culture has its fair share,

Of unmatched beauty, I can declare,

Beauty in diversity adds to our ecstasy,

Bestowing to this universe euphoric serenity.

With racial diversity they all enamor,

They all enthrall us with their glamor,

There is mystic feel about all His creations,

As though sculptured & sent from heaven.

Faces and faces of gorgeous beauty,

Striking us all in their diversity,

Testimony to His unmatched artistry,

Amaze you even at a glance cursory.

All never less than masterpieces,

Our awe and wonder never ceases,

Each of them are uniquely magnificent,

Exquisite, elegant and strikingly different.

Be they dwell in Nigeria or Algeria,

Or from Casablanca or Kolkata,

They may be Greek, Roman or Canadian,

Afghan, Portuguese, Colombian or Indian.

The coy and petite look of an Indian,

Exotic dusky feature of an African,

Bold and blonde, blue eyed Caucasian,

or hazel eyed, golden skinned Brazilian.

Every single culture has its fair share,

Of unmatched charm, I can declare,

Beauty in diversity adds to our ecstasy,

Bestowing to this universe euphoric serenity.
