Mortal Elegance
Reflection
In the delicate balance between life and decay,
A woman stands, her beauty on display.
A hat adorned with flowers, a symbol of grace,
Contrasts with the skull, a reminder of time's dark face.
Her gaze is cast downward, a contemplative sigh,
As if lost in thought, between the worlds she'd fly.
The chain around her neck, a symbol of her past,
A reminder of the journey that will forever last.
The intricate details, a testament to art's dark charm,
Invite the viewer to ponder on life's fragile form.
In this portrait, we see the duality of fate,
A dance between mortality and beauty's state.
The woman's elegance is not just in her face,
But in the acceptance of her mortal place.
A fleeting beauty, a moment in time,
A reminder to cherish life's rhyme.
The artwork whispers secrets of the human plight,
A melancholic serenade, a gentle, mournful night.
In 'Mortal Elegance', we find a truth profound,
That beauty and decay are forever bound.
