PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I seek beauty everywhere-

I like to be surrounded.

All my senses are attuned.

I need it, to be grounded.



I may see it in a tree

Or even a small pebble-

If it is unusual

My joy may even treble.



I may smell it in the air

Following a recent storm.

I may feel it in smooth fur

As I stroke a cat's lithe form.



I may hear it in a stream

Singing as it wends its way.

I may burst in song often

As beauteous joys fill my day.



When I am immersed in it

Beauty then merges with me,

And I validate myself

Having now the liberty



To create beauty myself-

To paint, to write and to love,

To release any constraint-

Thus does God release His dove.
