Beauty

by Jeff Bresee

entry picture

I see it time and time again

that beauty’s made by what is spent.

 

A beauty that demands a price

with outer glow and inner ice.

 

And observation seems to tell

it’s only as deep as the well,

 

for come the day the well runs dry…

such beauty simply waves goodbye.
