Perception - Mirror

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you- Rumi
                          (Picture: 2)


What is beauty?

It’s a knotty problem to be solved.

Does it hide in our faces? Thoughts?

In our actions?  Or in our achievements?

Snow shielded ground is a setback for many beasts

But not for a polar bear

I felt the rainy day irksome.

When I walked with my fiancée in rain, I felt the rainy day awesome.

Where is beauty?

Perception matters, doesn't it?
