dc beauty




beauty 'silences' me
like if i fade out, vanish and become just sensation
it imbues me, fulfills me, fills me
with a feeling of wonder,lightness, happiness and pleasure,
melancholy sometimes or longing
it touches every fiber
it comes in the form of an image, something i see
it can be a sound , something i hear
even a scent or a flavour
and also a touch
or a thought

a rose bush coming just into bloom
the look in someone's eyes, the color of an iris
or the print of a summer dress
a voice singing in the distance 
the sound of a particular word,
 or rain against the window when lying in a warm bed
honeysuckle on a warm evening
fresh sheets,a lover's skin,
warm goat's cheese and herb salade with a glass of chablis
cool water from a little mountain stream
a kiss on my forehead,
that  sticky, tiny hand in mine,
a warm embrace,
things coming out of the memory box in my head

sweet Nadine presented us with a marvelous opportunity
to wonder about beauty,
beauty is all around us
it's a matter of being open to it


for more beauty please visit Nadine's wonderful Tiny woolf place
and enjoy

  6. you have summed it all up in your poetry and the image that goes with it. i think i may ask you permission to hang your poem up on my studio wall board, when that board goes up. the words so remind me of who you are, and what you stand for, and it will always remind me of the importance of looking up, and down, and inside.
    thxs so much for playing, renilde.

  15. So true, beauty is a must, a need, something that nurses us...
    Is it beauty that comes across our way? Or is it our mind that pours beauty over people, things or situations? No matter which way it's round, I think beauty is lost without any beholder. It needs someone who defines it as beautiful. And this is what your painting is about: the indispensable connection between beauty and the beholder.

    Look, the beauty inside mirrors the beauty outside and vice versa... Great painting. You are a beautiful person, Dear.
