quintessence

Beauty un-parried,

Encapsulating without drawing a breath.

Just one glimpse and you know,

Some see it as life, some call it death.

Subject to change,

And individual perception.

An encryption of our minds,

An embodiment of recollection.

From minimal to extravagant,

The epitome of the epitome,

A bigger picture of everything,

Evocating euphoria and misery.

Divine, or grounded, a testament to time,

Unrivalled is quintessence, eternal, sublime.
