WHAT'S IN BEAUTY

I stared with a glance

At the mirror in the wall

There wasn't any chance

Of any fault at all.

Then I had a second sight

At my beautiful face

A fault did come to light

But that's there in any case.

Then I had a look again

At my eyes a little twisted

But only a fault just in my eyes

And hence I calmed and rested.

Again a doubtful look into the mirror

To assure I was fine

Made me recognize with horror

That ugly face as Mine.

But then I calmed myself

When it dawned on me,

That beauty is in your Inner Self

And not in just what you see.

 The Elite One

I tried to comprehend His Glory in my heart

And I got all over Excited

With the thought that I am His part

I felt I had it Sighted

And,  when I got this glorious sight

I felt inexpressibly Delighted

For I had seen something bright

That got my Inner Lighted

The Blinding radiations that He sent

Made me completely Delighted

With His glorious, glittering garment

That had the dark night Lighted

The experience of the thing that lit

Got me completely Elated

And when I thought how I yearned for it

I felt it was Belated.
