Only the heart can feel it

"Crumbling is not an instant act..."
                       Emily Dickinson

Why do we find old buildings beautiful,
books, whose pages are crumbling to dust;
weatherworn wooden doors once...

We See What We Want To See

White lines carelessly scribbled oblique
For those who believe, a crucifix unique

Amidst this domain, beauty fills empty space
Wings of an angel, profile of a face

A bold, immense mammoth, a fierce dinosaur
Their presence once solid, but now metaphors

A heart, though misshapen,...

"Good deeds are more important than good looks."
 The proverb was first recorded by Chaucer in 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' (c. 1387)

You looked inside her fragile soul.

A child's beauty contest I watched in such awe;
  young girl in a wheelchair to her father, his all.
Escorting her on stage with such grace and pride;
 each so blessed to be at the others' side.

A fragile princess in a purple pageant dress;

The world is filled with babies
And the parents who adore ‘em,
Though unrelated bystanders
Most often will ignore ‘em.

As relatives believe.
The filter that’s tied up with love
Is easy to deceive.
 
Some infants wear the faces
They’ll parade in when they’re old
And others,...

My eyes see much beauty, start to lose my composure
Go all wiggly
It's a conspiracy

Lovely baby blues
Your eyes on our wedding day
Years melt and are gone

UNTIDY HOUSE 

Untidy house!
Round and round
Racing ‘round like headless fowl
Cleaning, cleaning frenzy is the go,
Guests are arriving nearing so
House of daily living though
Is not what they want to see?
All spic-n-span is not of daily grind.
So your visiting folk
Are introduced into a world
Of a falsehood here
But...
