Poem: Allure


Quote of the day:

If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully. 
-Matthew Fox




Everything has beauty...

I repeat over and over again with eyes wide shut.
I open them...and blink several times...

'Still I saw nothing'.

'How do I see the beauty in everything.' I thought out loud...

Reminiscing, wishing...
...Living on impulse and existing -despite life's inelegance.
Like a rose growing from a concrete.

I close my eyes once more...
Slowly...face to the sky and the heavens.
I inhale...I exhale.

'And then it came to me', that for beauty to be revealed...
...It has to be a buried light that starts within. 

Beauty is imperfection. 
Beauty is truth. 
Beauty is you. 
Beauty is a seed that never stops growing. 



Peace.Love.Light*

  19. "Beauty is imperfection."

    We want to accept this... But it is harder than one might think... Especially, about ourselves, as we grow older... At least, this is so, with me.
