I see, Do you?
I see what all men see
but I regard it with a poet’s eye.
Find beauty in the ordinary
which other men will just pass by.
For there is beauty everywhere.
The world is more than passing fair,
especially to an artists eye
who has the time to stand and stare.
So many look but cannot see.
I find it extraordinary
that other men pass beauty by.
That is not how things ought to be.
The have the opportunity
which they don’t take although it’s free.
Perhaps they are afraid to try
to understand the worlds beauty.
