Beautiful

John Herlihy

 

It’s all so beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful

You oh so beautiful

Am I also beautiful

The world beautiful

Living life beautiful

Day//night beautiful

A butterfly beautiful

Virtue beautiful

Birdsong beautiful

Dawn 0h so beautiful

 

Kindness beautiful

Generosity beautiful

Your face beautiful

Your smile beautiful

This poem beautiful

Your story beautiful

Patience beautiful

Wisdom beautiful

Nothing as beautiful

As truth beautiful

Oh so beautiful

I'm reminded of the Navajo tradition of Walking in Beauty. It's always there, but sometimes it's hard to see.

INDEED....'BEAUTIFUL'...IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER AND IS EXPRESSED AND BEHELD IN ...THOUGHT...WORD...ACTION ...AND... DEED! A FINE WORK, MY FRIEND! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Evolution seeks perfection, resulting in beauty. And beauty is often in the eye of the beholder. We are earthlings and we see the Earth in all of its ramifications as beautiful.

As a result, your second stanza covers a range of impressions and emotions that we think of as beautiful. Unfortunately, we seem to have an ugly side that shows itself so often in our behavior, even how we treat beauty.

Like the word, Beautiful, there is no edn to the quantity and quality of such good feelings around us. In today's world, we just have to work a bit harder to get around the noise that bumbard all our senses continually. Thank you for giving us a few moments to drink in the sensorial nector of your words.

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
