Beauty?
Try to describe intellectual beauty, in poetry or prose. Not simply something that is beautiful, but the essence of beauty or the quality itself.

There you stand by the fire

With an open hand

Heart song tuned like a lyre

Flows through you like sand

The mind, the body are strong in you

The sheltered heart and the closed eyes unfold

For you draw all near to you

Preaching the things you behold

So teach me your ways, teach me how to heal

Your mind alone, I wish I could steal

This makes me weak

The desire to fix and tweak

You never show your faults to me or others

So nobody thinks, nobody will ever discover

The pain you go through that hides deep in you

I hope to learn how to control it
