Beauty

Ophelia

 Sir John Everett Millais, Bt(1829-1896)

Beauty

What is Beauty?
What makes a person so beautiful?
Is it not what the eyes see of a person but what
the eyes cannot see that makes them beautiful?
If true beauty was skin would we not all grow
Into hideous monsters as we grow older?

Can I experience beauty only when I am near someone?
Or can beauty be anywhere in the universe and with me
at the same time?
If it can't, what does it make me when you are far away?
What if I never see you again?
Is my Paradise Lost?

If we posses beauty in the inside, why do people act 
Not so beautiful sometimes?
How can I tell if someone is really beautiful?
Through their movements in life?
If you treat me so caring, so passionate, does this
Mean you are beautiful?
What does it mean when you treat me unkind and mean?
Are you not beautiful then?
How can I know?

Beauty is not seen as much as it is realized.
Beauty is not the eyes but how the eyes perceive.
Beauty is not the mouth by how the lips are used.
Beauty is not the hands but how the hands are guided; 
Softly and gliding or harsh and punishing.
Beauty is not speaking hard to weakness,
But kindness that holds up the weak members.

Beauty is seeing through the roughness! 
Seeing through the pain!
Seeing through the sins!
Seeing past our ugliness, (cause we all have it)!
Beauty is not the piano but the music it makes.
Beauty is the light we see in the darkness.
Beauty is the hope in Heaven.
Beauty is not seen in any of us until we have
Our eyes washed with salvation in order to see Beauty in others.

What is Beauty, Ophelia?
It is known by this one small statement,

Beauty is what creates it.
