The True Beauty of Nature

This poem depicts the real harmony of which I have felt inspired. Under the negative beliefs, there is only beauty. I feel when we start to see this beauty in our day to day lives, expanding on it, you will see the real world.

I sent this to the Head of Counter-Terrorism in Washington, I was trying to show him the peace I believe in. I was hoping to inspire him to the truth that is life. I see it as the peace beyond the drama. It is not anti-anything, just being itself in its true beauty. Just as you are when you are kind to yourself, that is love setting you free to just be who you are. As you love yourself, you can then love the world and free it.

TRUE BEAUTY DOES NOT KNOW ITSELF

What is true beauty?
As my mind travels the world in search of this jewel,
What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
Does it shimmer and catch your eye?
Does it grow as you grow old?
Can you hear it caressing your soul?

Is beauty the wrapper or the sweetness within?
Is it the painting of perfection?
Is it the sketch of truth?
Is it the adoring love of the parent staring into those innocent eyes?
Is it the kindness of an old women in disguise?

For me it has no form,
It sings to me in the acts of love,
It shines on me in the eyes of my friend,
It comforts me in the warmth of understanding,
True beauty is without end.

True beauty does not know itself,
Do flowers marvel at their brilliant colours?
Do the mountains know their massive power?
Do the rivers feel their peacefulness murmuring?
Does a sunny day smile at its radiant warmth?
The colours do not know the painting,
For that is in the heart of the great artist,
There is only contrasting lights in this spectrum,
No colour is better or worse than any other,
Each a defining voice,
In the orchestra of perfection,
And the cast is invited,
By the grace of natural selection.

In truth my friend
…there is only beauty,
Universal beauty you cannot see,
When you close your eyes you can feel it,
It is the love that sets you free.
