Beauty – be it: physical, emotional, artistic, all of the above or simply beauty in one of its other forms – can often be overlooked. Some say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, such a clichéd quote though it speaks truth that many choose to ignore. It is not what
they see that matters, it is what is in
your eyes that truly matters.
I do not speak for all when I say this, however the want is universal; everyone wants beauty, in some form though may be not the most obvious. Sometimes a simple flower can bring happiness into a person’s life due to the beauty it holds. Other times it is something flowing with more grandeur such as the Niagara Falls or the Northern Lights. Seeing the beauty within the love of a mother and child can be humbling for many a soul.
Beauty is not just in what you see, but what you feel, what you hear, what you touch, what you write, what you say and even what you smell. Learning to appreciate each and every small portion of the beauty in this world would take over a lifetime. But appreciating what is beyond your own back door is a small step towards realising what is really out there.
I am the drifting river
Running through your soul
Like the blood in your veins
Bringing your thoughts
Out of the drone of the day
To the splendour of your senses
I can be whoever
Or whatever you want
Taking you to new places
Letting you see
Through eyes that are untainted
They say I have rose-tinted glasses
That I don’t see what’s really there
But they don’t know
That I see what I see
That it’s in my eyes
When I see a face in the crowd
A face not knowing its worth
That what I see is wonderful
Nothing belonging on earth
Do not trust in these eyes
Trust in the ones inside
Then you can drift on peacefully
And live in beauty once more
I am the spirit of beauty
And believe me you’ll always be blessed.
“Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”
Nothing is perfect; not one being in this world can say that they have achieved complete and total perfection. Though I don’t know who said the above quote I believe that it is true. Happiness is the truest form of beauty. Remember it and smile at the future.
You do not have to agree with anything I have said here, this is merely my personal view. Everyone is allowed an opinion and this is mine.
