WHERE DOES BEAUTY COME FROM?

How does one know what is beautiful? What sets our senses aglow?

Take women of the world for instance the ideal beauty depends on where you go.

 

How many new parents, at the viewing window naturally assume

That their baby is the most beautiful baby of all the babies in that room?

 

There are some panoramas we regard that create universal admiration

But even those at times are open to interpretation.

 

The sun rising over the mountains or setting beneath the sea,

A rainbow arching across the sky a songbird in a weeping willow tree.

 

There’s beauty in a smile, in a secluded walk along the sand

In a lover’s glance, a moonlit night or in the wrinkles on a baby’s hand.

 

Each person knows what beauty looks like but how do you surmise

Helen Keller was able to see beauty without the use of her eyes.

 

There are some who believe there is beauty in all things, you can find it everywhere

And the magic in life is discovering the beauty that’s already there.

 

These people would be considered scholars, they were both intelligent and wise

 

They knew the beauty that’s in front of us is best viewed from behind our eyes.
