The wheel in the shape of a heart
Pleases but does not roll
The canary bathed in gold
Enchants but does not sing
The flower planted in crystal
Dazzles but does not grow
The painting of a summer’s day
Inspires but does not exist
Lacy fabrics spun and woven
Attract but do not warm
Memories captured in a photo
Are timeless but do not last
Love letters kept in a box
Remind but do not replace
Human voices hiding their intentions
Are sweet but do not comfort
True beauty lies in pure hearts
Open minds, and love for one’s neighbor.
