Reflection of Beauty

Accidental Poet

 

Be it in my eyes that I see such beauty

Be it in my heart that I feel such passion

Then with sincerity I endeavor to reach you

To touch your innermost core

Open your eyes to what you’ve never noticed

Fill your heart with inspiration to look again

Wasn’t it there all along?

A reflection of beauty

 

The chapters of my life, now middle aged

The days of my heart all numbered and paged

My heart like a factory of photographs and rhyme

What I see, hear and feel, all the passion combined

Re-acquaint yourself anew

See a reflection of beauty within you

For the magnificent view you see on the outside

You’d not see unless it were part of you on the inside

 

So now let us walk

Through forests filled with Mother Nature’s voice

Along seashore at dawn’s first light

Lose yourself in the depths of a quiet sunset

Find yourself in the wagging tail of a four-legged friend

Look with all seeing eyes

Hear with finely tuned ears

Feel with receptive heart

 

Let the beauty you see

Remind you of yourself internally

For there in your heart

Were the answers from the start

We live in a world where

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder to share

So please, look and you’ll see what I see

Your reflection of beauty

  • Fay Slimm.

    This is so beautifully appealing A.P. - the way to see inward revealed with such avid perception. I must add this to my favourites right now.

    • Accidental Poet

      Thank you Fay. That you would be so taken with my writing is an honor I proudly wear. All my readers here astound me with such wonderful feedback that I have to pinch myself to think that all of you really are complimenting my writing. It's a real shot of confidence in the arm Fay. Thank you.

      A wonderful poem, AP! Such a great way of describing inner beauty. Love the words you chose to describe the beauty.

      • Accidental Poet

        Thanks Christina. As I look around me here in MPS, I see a reflection of beauty in all of you. All your writing, all your sources of inspiration. As good as my own poetry might be, it's mirrored reflection from all of you is amazing. Thank you Christina for being here with me, with us.

        • WL Schuett

          Very sensitive poem , looking at your inner light and projecting it out for all to see , very nice

          • Accidental Poet

            Thanks Bill. It really is a community of poets here that I'm very happy and proud to be part of. A community that respects other poets instead of the reaction some people give when they learn you write poetry. Sad that some people don't appreciate the talent that people are capable of. My ex-best friend was one such person, he'd give a little smirk and little shake of his head whenever I mentioned a poem. If you will, please read a few of the notes above here. It applies to all of you my brother and sister poets here on MPS.
