Epigraph
On the ramp of life, true beauty is not the shade of skin nor the shine on the outside, but the light that radiates from within.
The Most Expensive Dress
All walks the ramp, each shade on display,
Black, brown, white, and yellow, colors in a sway.
Some shimmer like silk, some glimmer like gold,
Is the outer glow that all hearts behold?
Destitute by fate—what causes this radiance?
What money can’t buy; purity shines on face,
Yet, judged by skin—what a disgrace!
The prompt for Poets and storytellers United is "We will invite you to find inspiration in this quote: “The most expensive garment you’ll ever own is your own flesh.”
