Poem: Allure

Blogoratti August 27, 2015

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*

    "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.

    Perception is the key to everything. One finds beauty and another finds blight. Perception.

    Greetings, my human friend,

    Indeed, there is beauty to be found in every breath of cosmic energy.

    Indeed, there is beauty to behold in the lessons taught of unconditional, non-judgemental love that we animals share with you humans.

    Pawsitive wishes,
