it is folly to believe
beauty such as hers
should be hid away
unspied upon
unwitnessed
when even the worst of us
would admire it this potency
even if we can but scan
from a distance
and wish we could
praise it more closely
yet she seems to determine
to keep it in a box
or in a shell
to divy out only to those
she seems worthy
when like a rose
or rare piece of art
such should not be
given
only to those few
when a world waits to
glimpse it
even when we know
no man can possess
it save in passing
