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
