The Eye Of The Beholder

The Eye Of The Beholder

A Poem by December Blaize


There is a hidden truth about life
That exists where the tide washes away
Footprints left by fading lovers,
Where a treasured music box
Plays a slower tune before giving out,
Where the unrivaled beauty of the stars
Made many a poet cry.

There are those lovely roses
And there are all those pretty songs,
But it is the thorns and fumbled notes
That remind us that life
Is not so much about the plans we make
But the beautiful imperfections
That teach us to move along.

I cried while writing this. And I still couldn't do the feeling justice with words.

I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but... I once saw a t-shirt that read "Beauty is in the eye of the BEER-holder." I felt the need to tell you this because its a stark opposition to what you have conveyed in this piece. What that t-shirt said makes what you have written even more meaningful because where the article of clothing i saw made a parody of love, the thought of it made your sinsere words more important. I was also almost driven to tears when reading it. Your words truly convey an emotion. I wish i could make my readers feel the way you do when you write. Its beautiful.

I agree with what you're saying; you can't just look at the beautiful things. Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at all of a person, even their flaws. Excellent.
