Your being is beauty, form without frail judgement,
And arms strong and healthy,
Mind mounted mightily in respect,
The silent soul all wound up in truth and care
And un-exploited gentleness,
Curves and forms and thoughts softer and truer
Than the hard rectangles and uncompromising firmness
Truer - stronger but more checked,
Deeper and with more fire - light restrained,
Full-featured function and form, friends,
And more - worth strife - notably personified
In Aphrodite and wisdom of bearing the next,
With the earth - tilled and abused, but not broken,
Benevolence and peace
Abiding the stagnant rage,
And awaiting expression
Your Being is Beauty
