True Beauty

Wander in wonder and find true beauty around you.


I once saw a beautiful sunset
And yet, not all seemed the same
Each morning the Sun warmly approaches
Yet, not all days feel warm
I once wandered through Nature
And every day since I have wondered of beauty
What is true about beauty and whether it’s real.

After all the wanders and wonders
Asking what is True Beauty, is like asking
What is real about Life?
Beauty is a product of ego
True Beauty is a by-product of Spirit
Consequential of Nature taking her course
From below to above, beauty flowers and grows
From above to below, True Beauty blessed and bestowed.

As the circle of life revolves and transpires
Some call it living, some only suffer
Life only blooms via pattern
Via synchrony, conducting a tune for us all
Dancing the waltz of completion
Stumble and learn, bloom or stagnate
Finding answers is simple
Asking questions is tough.

Like a balloon underwater
Rising is essence, rising is purpose
So too with all living beings
So too with us all,
If you see True Beauty as essence
If you see it as purpose
Merely a choice between lying or rising
One by one we must choose
No escape no excuses.

For each like view, oceans of dislikes surround us
What is natural for some is artificial for others
Splendid sights to behold are only for some to destroy
Different beauties to love and to cherish
Natural order awaits
As perfect as is, not for some
For some, True Beauty spells danger
For those who attempt to usurp God's arrangement
For whom freedom is nightmare
For whence ugly is chosen not made
Chaos is upheld in disgrace.

Is True Beauty subjective or Godly?
In modern times beauty is harnessed, not witnessed
Objectified out of spirit
Counted not valued, priced not preserved
Appearances measured and treasured, yet not understood
What thoughts are received
Which emotions aroused
What actions then flower
This is how beauty is seen
With its after-effects in one's life
Not in its own right
Not for its essence
Looked and liked only for pleasure
Seen and wanted delights for the ego
First to look and desire
Last to be granted and served.

Where was the thought  why?
Why fore not grace, but appearance?
Why some things and not others?
Why fore does beauty change with beholder?
Divinity moulded with subjective intentions
Drowned out with self-righteous nostalgia
Self-covetous hope altruistically feigned
For some it was lust
For others a need for communion
Without eyes for cognition
Gross desire labelled beauty
In fact ugly as hell.

True Beauty is Natural
The way all is conceived
The way it was meant outside of personal opinion
The way it was made
As is finite but with endless potential
Creatures made for creation, not folly
To maintain and sustain
Not to rule in God's place.

A war be now brewing dear brothers and sisters
A war full of cunning attraction
Ravenous rebels craving desire and raving deceptions
Knaves of all nations barking out orders
Seeing beauty as different
Rocks and stones do not choose their own colour
People do, not in body but spirit
Some don white, others take black
One or the other, it cannot be both.

If you think there's no choice,
Or it doesn't affect you,
Your colour is chosen
Your decision is made
For True Beauty to reign, to be seen
Black must don white out of choice
The great game and the great challenge
Smelting rocks into crystals
Playing Go for the weight of our verse.

True Beauty is when Free Will reigns supreme
When Truths are revealed
When living things live according to choice
When All on Earth prospers
When strength meets suspense
When grief finds its solace
When violence discovers compassion
When war turns to peace
When what Nature birthed prospers
When Life has been served and all else has burnt
When Care finds rebirth
Only then can True Beauty be born.

All else is mirage
Mere personal tastes as sweet as they are
Look it, like it and ponder
See it, love it and wonder
True Beauty within and ugly without
Look up and around
Objective truths unbound and surrounding
You as One with One personified in us All
This is True Beauty, remember it well.

Once it is seen, it is never forgotten
Once it is felt, it is always adored
But to savour True Beauty takes courage
Disposing of synthetics and culture and ego
The sun of the Father
In tune with the Mother
You the beholder
Eyes cast and mouth open wide:
What does one see, when they look?
What does one wonder, when wandering?
What one considers true about beauty!?
The decision is yours in the making.
