Dove Face

A poem about wisdom.

Dove Face

Her bright diamond shaped

Face was perfected

With faint lines of age.

 

Smiles of ecstasy,

Joy and elation

Graced her adorable face.

 

The steam engine of life bearing the

Depths of her tears, sobs

And bittersweet angst

Had laid their

Tracks across her

Dove face too.

 

But the clear, smooth face

Of a woman her age,

Is one to remove your presence from,

For what kind of life has

Miss Baby Face lived?

 

One lacking any high peaks and low valleys,

A life lived without earning the interest

And smile

Of Lady Wisdom?

Sure thing, facial delineations reveal experience. I've never understood plasticizing the process of living, when the best way to look and feel good, even if one has done some hard living, is eating well, loving well, and exercising in a fun way.

And the kind of overripe smoothness that is not surgically derived has a disturbing infantile quality.

Imagine how bizarre it would be to attempt to read a palm w/no lines!

A thoughtful reminder that reading lines means more than words! ;-)

Nice poem. I love the interesting way of displaying beauty.
I have thought about these lines myself. Thank you for showing
us true beauty and not the results of an experiment as the media does.

This is interesting. I've always thought the lines of age much more beautiful then botox and face lifts.

Life .. and it's complications lay the
foundation, for sure.
