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.

Truly said. Beauty lies in the beholders eyes. Nature, as a whole is beautiful, contains every thing inside Nice write 10+
Thanks dear poet KE, yes but my point is not confined to nature alone.
