Beauty abounds <br /> it lies all around <br /> It is perfection such as one's eyes <br /> and mind behold <br /> It is love from within and it asks to be seen <br /> and allowed to unfold <br /> <br /> Beauty is joy to be discovered <br /> and it takes but a small effort to uncover <br /> Then too it can be a mask that hides an inner truth <br /> a screen that filters and disallows one to see <br /> it is but a crust covering unpleasant things dutifully <br /> <br /> Beauty is joy to the senses and suggests an ideal <br /> And we struggle to attain that exactful image <br /> even if it means the truth we must conceal <br /> <br /> Take a moment with uncasting eye <br /> and view the things that go on bye <br /> It is beauty you will see <br /> simple and diverse with pleasure and glee <br /> Do not yourself encumber thoughts of perfection <br /> for beauty can be enjoyed from within and around with little contention.<br /><br />Gloria Mary Rodriguez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-33/
