31 Thirty

She turns heads.
There's no denying that they find her physically exciting.
The admiration, once flattering, is curbed by perspective.
She know she deserves more than fleeting attention.
"Catching eyes is easy" she reminds herself.
Confident she can capture something else,
She keeps it moving,
She has no interest in
Conquering with beauty.

"Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades."
Proverbs 31:30 MSG
