I There is much beauty for all to see With the eyes of faith and simplicity For even the night flaunts its thrilling craft With stars and scents and the breezy draught II The hills, the mountains and the gentle shower The bowery green and the fragrant flower In every space, around and beneath The grandeur, resplendent, a legacy bequeath III And who could miss that most gentle art? The innocent smile of the simply heart And all around, subdued or just wild The boundless mirth of a little child IV My heart takes flight when I would see The impossible voyage of a honey bee The soil knows how and when seeds should grow The lightning, the thunder and the simple things we know V Yes, there is beauty in all we can see Friendship and family and all we can be There is sound and silence and music as well Beauty is a language no words can compel VI Laughter is beautiful oh, what a sound It raises the spirit, the soul is unbound Happiness and love, the heart lingers near Yes, there is beauty, most everywhere
First of all I must give you thanks for your comments on my reflection,This fine piece of poetry which comes from the soul. It is really sad that the humanfactor blinds us to the extent that we dont appreciate the beauty which is around us or the divine creation of our creator. We drift along life with materialistic objectives beyond the soul and spirit. I hope that this poetry will fill the heart and soul of anyone who reads it and take away the blindness and make them see with the eyes of the soul and feel with there hearts.
Keep on talking with your soul.
