One Way Life

Beauty eludes me; it seduces and entices me.

I am in constant search of it —

Sometimes so much that it becomes an obsession.

What direction, based on misdirection,

Should my thoughts reach?

Conclusion: the enemy of the solution.

By standard deduction,

Beauty becomes poetry in motion.

A devotion of the highest calling,

Like the moon pulls the waves,

Is the push and pull that I feel.

I lose focus; I am unaware of the

Present, always searching for meaning in the past.

Beauty once more resonates

With feelings unspoken —

Silent noises, like a faint heartbeat,

Bringing memories alive.

After immersing yourself in the depths of this poem, take a moment to reflect on the beauty that surrounds you — often elusive, sometimes overwhelming, yet always present. Let this contemplation inspire you to seek out the beauty in your own life, not just in grand moments, but in the subtle, silent whispers of everyday existence. Share your own reflections, create your own poetry, and let the world see the beauty you discover.
