What is Beauty?

What is Beauty?

What is Beauty? I think Beauty is my sister covered in spaghetti sauce after a meal and beaming all the same. I think Beauty is when no one in my family makes a frustrated noise when I spill the milk at dinner. I think Beauty is the picture of my mom and dad gazing into each other's eyes on thier wedding day. I think Beauty is when I step into my church in my bare feet and then realize they're dirty (when are feet ever clean?) but then I realize that God still loves me.

How about you?

back to the Chirp at Cricket

Here's a poem I wrote about a mirror, and beauty. Make whatever you like of it. 

 

Mirror

Ah, mirror, you so taunt me,

You give me what I want most--beauty.

I will block my own reflection,

“No,” I think. “We’ve no connection.”

I remember an old Greek myth-a

Handsome man called Narcissus.

He had fallen to your power,

Wilted away to but a flower.

All the vain are caught in your trap, but

Only they will smile back.

And though I am not in your clutch,

Why, oh why do I care so much?
