The Beautiful Image
An impish nymph peers into the large looking glass
Fashioning monkey faces, amusing herself
Not ready to stand awhile
As her mother braids her hair
Not a bit bothered by how she looks
Shrugs her skirt and off to school she scoots
Bidding adieu to her image…her friend of many years
As she blooms into a young Venus
Whiling away hours in front of the glare
Toying with her tresses
Startled by the sparkle in her eyes,
Shine in her smooth skin,
Beautiful dreams in her eyes
As Juventus and Venus fill her with strength
Though perturbed by varying emotions
Forgets everything in front of Leibig’s find
All of a sudden she falls in love with her
own Image of beauty
Philia blossoms Narcissism prevails
Though only momentarily
