There’s the beauty of the sunset At the closing of the day And the beauty of the sunrise When sunbeams come out to play There’s the beauty of the sunshine When it makes love to the fields Warming seeds asleep and waiting For the harvest they will yield There’s the beauty of the moonlight As it rests on bed of sea And the dance of stars that twinkle Setting every dreamer free There’s the beauty of the mountain In its snowcapped majesty And the joy of love bird chorus Nature’s grandest symphony There’s the beauty of the meadows And the flowers dressed so fair Warmth of earth and sun kissed rivers And the breeze of alpine air There’s this beauty all around me And yet you are all I see In the sky and field and fountain In the brook and cedar tree Everywhere I see the beauty Of your body and your soul Everywhere I taste your bounty In the way you make me whole Most of all I see the beauty That is touching you with grace And that wondrous manly beauty That I see upon your face Eileen Manassian

The pure love that radiates with a steady scintillation from the face of a lover does truly enhance the inherent beauty of nature's breathing...it can explain with sage silence what the meanig of your heart is for. I'm always spellbound by how you romanticize Nature, and use it to illustrate the power of passion Eileen. To be engulfed by the stare of one who loves you...that's the meaning existence...J.A.B.

Justin, I am very swayed by beauty...It may be fickle, but...I notice it...everywhere. My daughter tells me I'm superficial...I guess...when it comes to beauty, I might be. I even point out beautiful women to my husband. Beauty needs to be celebrated. I know beauty fades...Sadly I am aware of that...everyday. I know that inner beauty can make someone who isn't beautiful...beautiful...and vice versa, but when those two combine...it's a piece of heaven: inner and outer beauty.

OH...Shane, Thanks for coming again. I DO love pictures. I'm into photography...pictures are moments of time captured forever...What could be more beautiful. I also love paintings....I remember wanting one so badly and not being able to get it. I mourn till this day. I've written something on that as well. Be patient....Today I will share some links with you. hugs

To see the beauty of another -- of a lover -- takes eyes that have been trained by heart to see beyond skin, bone, mind, and body . . . down to the soul . . . for here true beauty resides . . . but here is where your poem took me . . . back from the soul to the face of the lover where grace is reflected and radiates love which is the beauty as seen in nature! Long winded . . . in short awesome poem. Deep, passionate, powerful . . . your signature best! 7

David...you have the gift of encouragement. I see your posts to others, and you are so affirming of everyone. That is a wonderful gift to have. I'm glad that you come to visit me and leaving something for me to meditate on. :) Thank you!!! I do appreciate beauty...and am taken by eyes and lips...Oh....and I love hair... :) I know...I'm a silly silly goose. I'm just wired that way. Hugs

I can relate to this Eileen... Even though there is beauty all around it can be shadowed by the beauty in the one you love...a favorite.... Hugs Tim

Your words are spoken out of love and have a gentle pleasing pitch to help the reader release control over to the words and feel them within our hearts. Emile.

I'm glad you noticed the rhythm, Emile...that's why I put it in the lyric category... I felt it was somehow like a song. Thank you for your kindness. Sometimes I have to work at the words...sometimes they just flow. Hugs
