If they know not of their own beauty

Then I will tell them how so very they are

But how to define such a thing to those without vision

With no concept of the colours upon which I depend?

 

I will tell them then that it is a joy

Beyond all that is visible in light

And that seeing is not nearly enough

To fully grasp the weight of sensation carried

 

I will tell them also that beauty should be shared

Beauty in day and in the darkness of night

Otherwise a smile in vain is for no one at all

An allure lost to the blind when its essence is false
