BEAUTY



Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
I, as an artist, see it everywhere,

In the porosity of old wood,
the wrinkles of an old woman,
the immaculate skin of a new born,
the geometric perfection of a spiders web.

The examples of beauty in this world
are endless.
Bur open to interpretation
and I, for one, find perfection
in imperfection.

As Jesus found good in all
the imperfect disciples he chose,
I find perfection in the mish mash
of the world around me.

The leaves randomly falling on the lawn,
the trees growing where they like,
the squirrels and lizards abounding
wherever they wish.

Ants scampering up plants
with great industry,
going where is unknown,
but they know.

All is beauty...
and when I finally realized that,
I became peaceful.

LONELY OR LONESOME


Am I lonesome
or am I lonely,
and what
is the difference?

Look it up
and you will see,
as did I,
there is none...

One's as bad
as the other
and neither
is good.

the synonym
for lonesome
is lonely
and vice-versa.

So semantically
both are right
but both
are dead wrong.

FOREVER


Forever is....forever
and ever and ...ever
and whenever we're together,
never EVER say "never".

AGE


Age is a great mischief maker.
Not only does it play havoc with our minds and bodies,
but with our perceptions too.

What matter the age of a soul
who compliments yours in every way.
Whose very existence is meaningful to you.

And why does gender have any bearing on age.
Woman can be younger but man can't?
Age is not logical.

The age of two people has nothing to do with
what they cherish in each other.
But, oh no, not according to age!

If relationships work, so be it.
Love and adore no matter what....
especially no matter.....age.
