All beauty is there before us,
We walk through our lives
Surrounded by the wonder of nature,
We may look at it,
But do you actually see it?
All beauty is there before us,
We flow through our lives
With music touching our souls,
We may hear it,
But do you actually listen?
All beauty is there before us,
We walk through our lives
Surrounded by the beauty of art,
We may look at it,
But do you understand it?
All beauty is there before us,
We flow through our lives
With words sitting on the page,
We may read them,
But do you know what they mean?
Life can be a mystery,
These things are there for us,
But we must not just look,
Or hear,
Or read,
We must understand,
Understand the wonder of life,
It is there for us all.

But how many do see it? As an artist I'm always looking and I see not only objects and views but also colours that others miss. Just look at the trunk of a tree - it's not just brown - I see greens, purples, reds, I could go on - great write about a beautiful world.
Very true Michael, I too look and see things but through a photographers eye, I used to do a great deal of photography and when I do go out with or without my camera I always look at things. You may be surprised at the number of pictures I have of the bark of trees.
Yes it is a beautiful world.
A lovely write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY : Thanks for a Perfect Song (Summertime) and a Perfect Poem (You are very perceptive !) both of which brought a smile back to my sad FACE ! My BIG CUDDLY BEAR has flown and Im *Alone again naturally* for another six months. The Magical Mystery Tour was Ecstasy but it ended too too soon : Agony ! The MAORI are very Pantheistic and see Gods Creative Power & Glory in all of Nature ! Mother Nature went wild in New Zealand. Brian & I use all oue senses here ! The Sights : The Sounds : The Scents : The Savours are all accentuated (as you know) by LOVE. I miss BRIAN so so much already. I will be better when Im back @ work on Monday and my Colleagues will give me a Soothing TOP to TOE massage with Rose Oil & Jasmine. There are some perks in being a Physio & a Masseuse ! Please pray for me that the *Pain of Parting* will ease !
Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Love in the Spirit : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Angela.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow" (If you say to anyone that I was quoting Shakespeare I will vehemently deny it! .... LOL).
I will not be too long before you are in each others arms again and go to your future in such joyous love with your souls joined as one.
Blessings on you both
Andy
Good Mane GF60, you raise some very pertinent questions here and I have no doubt you already have the answers to each of them ... Neville
Thank you Neville. I am a great believer into seeing and hearing the wonders of the things that this life gives me.
Yes my friend do we recognise all the good things that we have I think we try but are not always successful. Poems like this one serve as a much needed reminder Thank you
Thank you Moordy, many people look and hear but many do not see and listen.
If we just try to understand, maybe just maybe we will then comprehend.
Enjoyable write indeed.
Very true Suresh. Thank you.
Nice write, the world and our lives have so much beauty that is underappreciated.
Thank you Brycycle, yes there is so much out there that is wonderful, some people just do not realise this.
