Beauty

Beauty. I was trying to define it but then I realised that I couldn’t, not for everyone anyway. It means different things t different people. When we say beauty without preamble, the first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful person or place. It goes beyond that. It could be art, nature, a person etc. All these things are beautiful in their own unique way. Like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What does beauty mean to you?

Here’s a poem I wrote on it. Enjoy!

_{It’s in the toothless grin of a baby
Shooting arms and legs in the air
Wishing to be carried and tickled
The harmless smile when happy
The innocent wail when uncomfortable
The tranquility when asleep
Beauty}

_{Its in the anxious look of a lover
Eyebrow raised in silent question
Looks exchanged in shared humour
The need to love and protect
Detachment felt when something is held
The smile that speaks more than words
Beauty}

_{It’s in the birds in the air
Flying and flapping with abandonment
Chirping and singing melodiously
Multiple colours shining
Sitting on a branch waiting
Nests made in protection
Beauty}

_{It’s in the worried frown of a mother
Unspoken words passed to her child
Anger when her child is hurt
Then the desire to shield from harm
To provide everything, her greatest desire
Love unconditional, only thing she knows
Beauty}
