Vilia

Too often we see only what we see… forgetting each Weed complex as the Rose – and arguably far more resilient – But beauty is not only skin deep...some blessed throughout…his witch of the wood also a goddess, apparent: his Vilia, Captive of her own sublime beauty kept pure from man by heavenly decree as all poets carry a similar burden and revelation – an ideal of perfect Love on earth never to be entirely requited….

"beauty is not only skin deep" It is truly within, which shines on the outshine. Seeing an imperfect person perfectly, that is true love. I am wrapping your thoughts gently around me. ~ Brandy

Perhaps not in this life...but we often sacrifice several to learn more, so we can give more. There is abundance of happiness far greater than the quantity of any experienced moment. Those who miss on this earth will have the blessed opportunity time and time again. God did not create us to fail or be lonely. He loves dear, sweet companionship...heck!--that is why we were created..for His pleasure as well as ours.

-"Too often we see - only what we see…" I agree - Judging others does not define them, it defines yourself ... - Love is the fruit of the human spirit ... lovely poem, Joe :) - // Anne-Lise :)
