Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Fri, 03/07/2014 - 09:59 -- Misnxo
Beauty is within the eyes of the beholder. 
I behold. 
Have I lost sight. 
Where did it go?
 
Animals never see it. 
My daughter doesn't know. 
 
Where is beauty built?
On a mountain. 
In a tree. 
Inside yourself. 
In untouched snow. 
 
Beauty is unreal. 
Honestly where does it begin?
Will it ever end. 
Is it a feeling?
A sight. 
A smell. 
 
It's an illusion. 
To take what we want. 
When we look farther,
Beyond our kin. 
What's desired in beauty?
Perfection.
