inner beauty is priceless
its twinkle is taintless
its hoot is humankind
its love is one of a kind
inner beauty is invaluable
its splash & sparkle, silent & able
it is an oak wood which is yielded
from the solidest timber ever preserved
in general, it provides trust, temperature
moderation & is prized for real furniture,
groundwater recharge, water pollution
attenuation & air pollution reduction
like an oak tree, its heart is harvested
& invested in humanity, it`s cultivated
to weather moisture, rotting and decay
during different seasons & times, I say!
butted by lost winds & earths that are unclean,
inner beauty remains shiny, solid & evergreen,}
it grows both in temperate & tropical climates,
a handsome heart heals medical ailments & mates
