Flame retardant

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Never to seize the right moment

Or play the right instrument,

Where the water meets the sounds

Of seagulls joyful in their journey.

 

Never to put a seashell to your ear

And not think it may taste salty,

Or that if you were to take it home,

It won’t fit well on top of the fireplace.

 

Never to touch velvet and think it is

Flammable. “Oh, this could really burn!”

There is fire in hell… and heaven, too.

None as beautifully flame-retardent as you.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder......yet there are standards what kind of appearance is beautiful. You speak about those, less beuatiful in the sense of appearance but beautiful in their mind; I wished many would think similar. I always think how I love your genetic- arabic imagination, it's always a journey into one of thousands nights. Great to have you back here. You see, we leave and we return. kind regards, L.

I get the distinct image of you watching someone from afar, observing her dislike of things another might consider beautiful, considering her beautiful yourself because of her flaws, while she doesn't see her own beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder only if he is not blinded. Thankfully, your eyes are open to the beauty in the bane.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder who really sees... 'tis too easy to look, to glance.. seeing is felt.

Beautifully put, wonderfully crafted ... no negatives to mention.
