Beauty Skin Deep


 
Beauty Skin Deep

Once, temporal beauty shone in splendor.
In sheen-like quality on her countenance.
But unrelenting age came and took it away.
Now unsightly traces of lines and furrows
litter the self-same icon of munificent beauty.
The ravages of time cannot be stowed away.
Unbidden they ooze into our very pores.
A constant reminder of forthcoming eternity.
Heads bowed we acknowledge and accept.
For surely come it will in the fullness of time.
