Beauty is the first word of a baby to its mother,
it is the sincere apology from a lover.
It is the sight of prosperity to a poor
and the pieces of bread for his hunger.

Beauty is the warmth of light for a blind,
it is the vibration of music for a deaf.
It is the song of mynah for dumb
and the freedom from diseases for a sick.

Beauty is the essence of rawness for an artist,
and the thunder of claps in a contest.
It is the fulfillment of a passionate dream
and the realisation of peace in the mind's realm.

Beauty is a naturally flowing stream of simplicity,
it is shallow but always pure.
Beauty always outscores each of its definition
and it never needs to prove any allegation.

I am very glad that you liked it. Its hard to find some true asthetics nowadays. Everybody seems to be enjoying the external beauties of people around them. And thats it.... It's sad. Thanks for commenting. :-)

Dove, this poem gives beauty so much depth, and it is does justice to the essence of the beautiful. Every single instance of beauty you give is meaningful, and there's nothing more to be said!
