Verily I say unto you:
Beauty is both temporary and eternal.

Beauty is temporary;
beautiful flowers bloom
but do not stay.

There is no beauty
in death.

Beauty is eternal;
it is art,
a portrait painted by a master.
Art is eternal.

However, sometimes
it is as terrifying as it is beautiful.
Or cruel and terrifying and not beautiful at all;
like a broken ornate mirror
cracked by a bleeding fist.

Cruelty is not beautiful.

But the way
the blood and tears
fall to make a pattern -
perhaps that is still art?

Though you are terrifying and cruel
and not beautiful at all,
the way your blood and tears
fall to make a pattern -
perhaps that is still art.

It takes a lot to be a pitiful person like you.
