Overwhelming Beauty

Overwhelming Beauty 2560 1920 Nadir Keval

As I sit in the library, working away, I look out the window and see a rose bush that brought the words, “Overwhelming Beauty” to mind. It made me realize how often, if we place too much effort or emphasis on physical beauty, it can become overwhelming and return to its roots of natural appeal. Just as this bunch of roses fell to the ground due to possessing too much beauty (ie. too many roses in one bunch), eventually, too much “stuff” on our skin in attempts of making ourselves appear more beautiful or handsome will eventually hurt our skin. And that effect on the skin will begin to show, regardless of what we do.

I have NO IDEA if any of that made sense hahaha but I thought I’d just share my random thought with you guys haha. I included the original picture I took of the bush, and then an edited version. It was a quick edit, and my amateur attempt at editing a picture haha.

Poem: Unknown Lovers

Poem: Unknown Lovers 1024 768 Nadir Keval

It has come to be my fascination,
To see you amongst the twinkles of the sky.
Subtly brightening my life,
We fell out of darkness together
only to find love between us.
With the winds blowing through the skies,
Cooling us, as our hearts heat our souls.
Connecting spirits, everlasting,
Through the essence of all that transforms
the originality of two into the complexity of one.
We never chose for all of this to happen,
But who’s to complain when the feeling’s this exhilarating.
The expression of our love is as snowflakes,
As is each snowflake beautiful in its unique appearance,
Our every romantic experience is the same.
We listen to one another just as the birds hear the seasons change,
Knowing what is to come next between us,
Even if control of our future is out of our range.
We strive to conform to the changing of seasons,
As our hearts and minds grow from emotion to reason.
And yet still, we continue to love,
Because we learn that in our hearts God will place that trust.
The trust that brings together two people,
To knowing that through any sort of precipitation,
We will remain forever as loving strangers.
