Not Beauty, But Beholding Eye Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Not Beauty, But Beholding Eye

Rating: 5.0


I've never ever seen
An ugly thing alive
That be ugly
From every side—

There always is
One perspective
Hitherto unknown
That shows its beauty aside.

Rose beautiful is born,
So is much abused thorn,
Leaves have a lovely side
Nigh like flowers smiling beside,

Lovely looks moonless night
No less than one with full moon bright.
There's no dearth of beauty,
What lacks, beholding eye.

Good to have good company... Some compliments feel good even though a bit too kind and exaggerated
