If Beauty

If beauty is in
the eye of the beholder
then why does one woman
shine above all the others?

A man is perfectly content
to look at a field of flowers
and not choose one over
all of the others, and yet
when it comes to a woman
he is more selective.

A man that can appreciate beauty
contemplates his desire
and yearns for the day
a special woman will
brighten his world and
set his heart on fire.

JamesMichael - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Some eyes just see beauty in different ways...

Hey James

True beauty is in the mind and heart. Each flower is different but without the prefrontal cortex that makes up the artistic creative qualities of a human. The flowers can't play classical piano, plan a vacation, do complicated math problems or say there's James he's a great guy I think I could fall in love with him......Ya know what I mean?


Lovely thought provoking write!
