Beauty

perfect rose

If beauty lies only
In the eye of the beholder…
Why is there fragrance
In the heart of the rose?

  1. Beautiful. I used more than one sense with this. I happened to read it just after my husband’s caregiver sprayed an air freshener that smelled like roses. 🙂

    magnfique image & lines that end with a rhetorical question, Sue… 🙂 Nature’s raw beauty often leaves us breathless, it both humbles and inspires… tons of inspiration & have a pleasant weekend! 🙂
