Poetry: Beauty

It doesn't matter how so plain
Or rough the crust may be,
The kernel is what truly counts -
The part we cannot see.

A piece of land perceived as good
And ripe for human toil
May yet prove unproductive
Without the proper soil.

Can we appraise the saber
While still within its sheath,
Or comprehend the ocean
Unless we look beneath?

The sights we often fail to see
And thoughtlessly pass by
May yet be those that satisfy
The palate, not the eye.

    White flecks of bright reflect within your eyes
    the blue star burn of cosmic beauty's light.
