Lens

Withered flowers are evidence of beauty.
Our eyes need look harder as rule of duty.

Saggy diapers running away thru the shag.
A joy wrinkled smile breaks the face of a hag.

There is ugly & pretty in everything.
Perfect imperfections allow souls to sing.

If you are affronted by the sight of flaws…
Don’t turn. Lean closer. For there’s probable cause.

Looking past surfaces oft reveals surprise;
Whether wearing gloom or invitation’s guise.

In short, appeal is so much a murky theme.
Clear waters divine no perfection supreme.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
