BEYOND
Beyond the makeup, beyond the gown,
A dance of empowerment, a sacred crown.
In this lyrical pageant, dreams abound,
A celebration of beauty, where love
No deeper anguish dwells in the present,
Rather, it's an authentic gain in the twilight crescent.
Life, a tapestry of joy and borrowed sorrow,
Crafted by your hands, today and tomorrow.
The mind resists acknowledging the immediate,
Yet the depth of pain resides in this very moment.
Picture the Earth sans humanity's touch,
All it craves is time, the sanctuary of a mindful clutch.
When our time fades, we slip into oblivion,
A subtle departure, as if we were never drawn.
Such is life, a simple love story in an oasis,
Lived well, loved gently in a quiet, serene stasis.
