The Beauty of It All

Pure beauty is eternal bliss. It permeates our existence And lightens a burdened soul. The most beautiful thing is love (Without judgment or assumption) Fostering acceptance that— Nourishes the famished And empowers the meek. Aesthetics make a pleasing world They personify lasting trends, Stimulate creative minds, And entertain world consciousness. Delight embraces desire, Passionate words inspire, Art refutes retire, All get to admire. To be of beautiful spirit Unleashes outward radiance-- A gratifying notion To be of a beautiful mind Fetches cognitive recognition-- An honorary triumph Loving your own beauty Transcends all other thought. ***Inspired by Catie Lindsey's "Focus on Syllables" Contest***

Well done Kimberly. Very positive upbeat and sounds exactly what Catie called for. This poem will certainly "stimulate creative minds" and is of a "beautiful spirit".

and this is what i do. in my pain and in my glory. i spread what i think is holy. though times are hard and lessons are not writen but scared. i have a heart that shows what is already known to the proud and to the grown. i let it be known that sometines we groan. john h loving iii
