Beauty is in our minds
Beauty is in our hearts
Beauty is all around us.
Beauty is everywhere.

Close your eyes
Beauty is in our dreams.
Open your eyes
Beauty is everywhere.

No matter who you are
or what you are
Beauty is what makes us
who we are.

    This poem had the same sensation as listening to rain snuggled in bed, calming, cleansing, brings a smile that comes from contentment. thankyou

    Reading this through God’s eyes really illuminates truth.
    It’s written in perfect simplicity.
    Well done.

    May Passion be what drives you

    I just read your poem. Very Nice!!! I should say, “Quite Beautiful.” I wish I had a picture to go with it. I’ll think on it. It actually reminds me of something I wrote with a picture of flowers awhile back. I’ll post it soon. Peace & Blessings to you! Liz
