Analysis of Beauty in Living

James K 1982 (Boise)



Today I took time watching the snow fall
Stopped working just to be still
Is it cheesy sappy or romantic, I think
Taking time to appreciate nature
Appreciating is enjoying I guess
So ignoring is not really living

Noticing what is around you
I feel is part of living fully
Art and beauty is in the eye
Beholding what and who
Appreciating is enjoying I guess
I want to enjoy being alive

There is a difference in wanting
Longing and desiring
I desire for pleasure and comfort
I long for peace and love
I want to be living
Instead of waiting for dying
