I see,do you?

poem

 

 

 

I see do you?

 

 

I see what all men see

but I regard it with a poet’s eye.

Find beauty in the ordinary

 which other men will just pass by.

 

For there is beauty everywhere.

 The world is more than passing fair,

especially to an artists eye

 who has the time to stand and stare.

 

So many look but cannot see.

I find it extraordinary

 that other men pass beauty by.

That is not how things ought to be.

 

The have the opportunity

 which they don’t take although it’s free.

Perhaps they are afraid to try

 to understand the worlds beauty.
