Elegance
The courtliness in you is charming,
Your inner majesty competes,
With the outside at the equilibrium of ninety.
You're amazing to every creature.
You're shy and friendly like a dove,
Quietly observant and ever conscious,
You're gentle, empathetic and optimistic,
Easy going and stable.
Your soft and calm voice
Lowers the height of rage,
It quenches the crescendo of hate,
It gives reliance.
You're the candle that lights courage
When almost defeated and indecisive,
The source of strength,
The apogee of human magnificence.
