What is beauty?
The complexity of something boggles the mind.
Attractiveness that drags the eye towards it.
Boredom never felt when it is seen.
Happiness overriding all other emotions.
A pattern that pleases the analytical brain.
A mess that satisfies the inner child's mind.
To say that one thing is beautiful, and yet another is not, makes no sense;
As everything satisfies at least one of these criteria.
The wall, a pear, the top of a computer case.
A single flower, a petal, a mountain, some snow.
The microscopic picture of dirt and the mind-boggling life that lives everywhere.
Even blood, an insect, a large spider climbing up the bathroom wall.
Everything is beautiful, from a certain perspective.
