Beauty Defined

Beauty is in the minds eye
but how do we define it
with words of phrase

do we ever weigh the meaning
of these words?

Is beauty a lie,
a deception
or the only pure truth?

Beauty found upon the
tilt of butterflies wing
soft bloom of April spring flowers,

it may be perceived in
sky reaching towers
city lights on a moonless
night,

it comes in many forms
shapes and sizes,
sights, scents and sounds.

Does the artist make beauty?
Or may beauty truly only be crafted
by the ones whom declare it so.

Has anything ever been nature
or man made, universally
beautiful

or does everything
have a side in
shadow?
