Through Her Eyes

Postby Nishu » Wed Jan 28, 2015 5:37 am

She saw beauty in an orange orb, in grey skies, in thunder clouds, in rain,
And though he looked high and low for beauty, his search was all  in vain.
She saw beauty in a blade of grass, in barks of trees, in willowy green plains,
He saw the drying grass, the weeds, the yellow leaves and turned away in disdain.
She saw beauty in a puddle, in choppy waters,  sinking shifting sands,
He saw coarse murky grains,  menacing dark waves breaking barren lands.
She saw beauty in the light of a dying candle, a flickering lamp, a glow with grace
He saw growing darkness, looming shadows where beauty had no face.

She felt beauty in the touch of raindrops, the beams of the afternoon sun
Heard her in tinkling laughter, in whistling winds, in the daily humdrum.
But he could neither feel, nor hear, nor touch ..nor see beauty go by
How could he...he'd closed his heart... And he wouldn't even try.

If the world, through her eyes, but for a moment he could see, 
There would never a dearth of beauty in his eyes ever be.

She, being sensitive was aware of the beautiful free gifts she had been given and treasured them, it is so sad that many only look inwards..

Just reading your words made me smile Nishu.. it is a wonderful world when we seek and find simplicity.

Beauty comes from within and some people have different perceptions than others. Some people close their hearts and they become blind to beauty unfortunately. I really love how you have interpreted how they are opposite using picturesque nature descriptions, and there is a strong message to learn too thank you Nishu.

One's perspective and view on even the seeming mundane things in life can be so telling, Nishu. Perhaps it does point to a heart condition, as you make mention, for his was surely closed off and shut down, and he is left to suffer because of it, Ma'am.

He was missing the great beauty in life itself as you have so clearly stated.A very telling tale of the way we mortals face life.Sad, but true.Sort od

Some people are blind to beauty. It can't even be explained or pointed out to them. A sad, one-demensional life. Great poem.
