The Elegance of Beauty

By

Espérance M.

The essence of our being
It is gentle and leads quietly
Slowly like a whisper,
Comes from the heart,
Motivates our minds, directs our path,
Energizes us, and reveals our core emotions

Welcomes the goodness, distances from evil
Rejoices in the victory and success of others
It is there that we find serenity and calmness,
Expressed in how we forgive and reconcile
In it we find mercy, humility, compassion
And the grace we carry within us every day

Elegance of beauty
Extends outside ourselves,
Reaches out to others,
in form of a helping hand,
a smile, a gentle gesture
a listening ear, a sense of humour
It is what we long for
