ANALOGY OF BEAUTY.

 

Beauty like yours is as precious and rare

as a Red Middlemist Camellia;

always in bloom but not seen ev'rywhere,

like the sun that sets to re-appear.

 

You’re a glowing gem of Alexandrite;

Still as beautiful with every change

In mood, expressions, beliefs, shape or height;

Like a mystery, unresolved and strange.

 

 

But your beauty out lives distance and time

With every beat of your human clock;

Nightingales will sing and church bells will chime

From beauty within your soul I unlock.

 

COMMENTARY:

1. Red Middlemist Camellia =  The world’s rarest flower,  thought to be only two in existence in London and New Zealand.  The flower originated from China in 1804.

 

1. Alexandrite =  a rare gemstone that is notably beautiful, mysterious and strange due to its colour changing appearance as you rotate it at different angles ( as it refracts and reflects light ).
