Gayle Rodd Poet Light Verse

The Eye of the Beholder

Some relate their lives to us in pictures
I prefer to tell my life in words
Most draw upon the visions the images display
I draw upon the verses I have heard

The eloquence that floats among the verses
transcending me through endless time and space
in subtle imagery I can see a far off distant land
without ever having left my current place

I smile when I ponder this elation
and contemplate the world in which I dwell
If beauty’s in the eye of the beholder
In poetry I see it very well

Chris Green May 9, 2017 at 8:52 AM And you do create the most amazing images with your poetry my friend. I would much rather read a poem than look at a photograph. Nicely done Gayle. Gayle Rodd May 9, 2017 at 8:54 AM Thank you Chris and me too!
