			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most beautiful sights are sometimes the most common things in life</p>
<p>A smile or a rainbow, a warm gentle rain, or a glimpse of love</p>
<p>The person you love and a smile that gleams through their eyes</p>
<p>A waterfall in the middle of the woods, secluded and romantic</p>
<p>A cozy dinner and movie in the arms of passion</p>
<p>Smiles and laughter when you need it the most</p>
<p>A child&#8217;s innocence staring back through the nonsense</p>
<p>A passion dressed in the white of purity</p>
<p>Some beautiful things can never be replaced</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vines slowly creeping up</p>
<p>Time getting away from you</p>
<p>Time passes if you are ready or not</p>
<p>The flowers bloom and die</p>
<p>Coming again the next year round</p>
<p>Covering and taking over</p>
<p>Unit the exits are blocked</p>
<p>The beauty that has to be cut away for the escape</p>
<p>A torturous adventure having emotions torn in two</p>
<p>Going forward to go out, or being trapped by the beauty</p>
<p>Moving along inside the comfort of the walls</p>
<p>The flowers of the season</p>
<p>The light of the days</p>
<p>Quickly fading inside the beauty</p>
<p>That takes over from the outside</p>
<p>Quickly covering all in sight</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bridges you cross</p>
<p>Bridges you burn</p>
<p>Nobody knows where they lead</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t see the other side through the fog</p>
<p>The sunset is beautiful and distracting</p>
<p>The beautiful back drop of nature</p>
<p>Makes you forget the fall</p>
<p>The Unsuccessful crossing</p>
<p>The bridge in suspension</p>
<p>Above the sparkling waters</p>
<p>In front of the horizon</p>
<p>You stare at the silhouette</p>
<p>Wondering if you can use it</p>
<p>Wondering if you can cross</p>
<p>What if it falls behind you</p>
<p>Then you can only go forward</p>
<p>What if you find a hole and can&#8217;t get across</p>
<p>Trapped in the middle of indecision</p>
<p>Rising up above the rail and looking down</p>
<p>Wondering if it&#8217;s the only way out</p>
<p>Looking at the beauty of the sunset</p>
<p>And the calmness of the water</p>
<p>Not able to enter either side</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The green of the trees shine on the cool water</p>
<p>The small peaceful noises of the lake surround you</p>
<p>Enjoying nature as you look out on the view</p>
<p>The sun is setting in the distance behind the trees</p>
<p>The mountains are outlined by the sun&#8217;s brilliant rainbow</p>
<p>The cool breeze calms your soul, almost like magic</p>
<p>Walking by the water hands clasped</p>
<p>The paired reflections clear on the water</p>
<p>Wondering how you managed this</p>
<p>The beauty of the place matched with the feeling of your heart</p>
<p>Your soul reflecting the calm of the water, as you know all is finally right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grabbing the Past</p>
<p>Snatching the moment</p>
<p>Not wanting to let it go</p>
<p>Not wanting time to move</p>
<p>Wanting to stay in the moment</p>
<p>The precious moments that make life happy</p>
<p>The precious moments that make you want to live</p>
<p>The moments that remind you of what beauty is.</p>
<p>We flip through the memories</p>
<p>The pages that have caught the glimpses</p>
<p>The pages that we want to live in</p>
<p>Because those pages have the happy moments</p>
<p>The love that you know</p>
<p>The love that you&#8217;ve seen grow</p>
<p>In those pages you can see,</p>
<p>The love and beauty that make life worth living.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to see the beauty through the clouds</p>
<p>The dark but non threatening clouds that hang about</p>
<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to appreciate the beauty in front of you</p>
<p>It can be right in front of us and yet we miss it some how</p>
<p>Maybe we&#8217;re preoccupied&#8230;maybe we&#8217;re simply not looking</p>
<p>I wonder how many things people miss every day, gorgeous sites that everyone should love and appreciate and yet they&#8217;re not even noticed because of the way we live our lives&#8230;..</p>
<p>Our culture is so face paced these days&#8230;when was the last time you could take a step back and appreciate the beauty right in front of you, maybe in a person, maybe in nature, maybe in an atmosphere???  I believe there is beauty around us most of the time, it just depends if it can shine through to distract us from our problems or stress&#8230;.or be bright enough to make us look up from our scheduled lives&#8230;.</p>
<p>Always on the clock, tic toc, tic toc&#8230;.Most of us fall into the nice little routine, which is fine but then what if you deviated just long enough to see a beautiful waterfall&#8230;or stop to appreciate the power of the lightening in the storm&#8230;or the charm of your own home???  What things do we lose every day by allowing ourselves to fit into a mold?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What makes someone beautiful?  What is it that attracts us to someone else?  Why is it that one person&#8217;s idea of the perfect mate is another person&#8217;s nightmare?  Is it the way we were designed so that everyone gets a chance?  Why is it that some people truly only care about the inside, while others would rather people just came as beautiful outside shells with no emotional content, feelings, or baggage to go with them?</p>
<p>Why is it that some people lack the confidence they need when they look like a super model, while others feel that they are God&#8217;s gift to earth yet nobody seems to agree with them? </p>
<p>What makes a person confident in their beauty?  Is it knowing yourself and being comfortable with that person?  Is it being flattered by random strangers or by the person that you love? </p>
<p>What is the difference between beauty and sexiness, or pretty?  I think that true beauty really does come from the inside&#8230;I know I can find someone very attractive until they open their mouth and then I have to jet out.  Get out of the situation because they have lost all attraction in my eyes because of their ugly or shallow personality.  Although this does not bother some people.  I have seen people go after people they could never have a conversation with because they simply want to get them into bed. </p>
<p>There rarely seems to be a common ground when you ask people what beauty is&#8230;.Some people will automatically think of another person, while others think of a scene in nature or a painting they saw once in a museum. </p>
<p>So what makes someone beautiful?  How do we recognize that beauty?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s easy to get caught up in the chaos and craziness of life; work, responsibilities; it&#8217;s easy to lose track of the things that really matter to you.  Love, family, friends, the beauty in nature.  Everyone treasures something different that they might get distracted from at one point or another.  Maybe it&#8217;s someone&#8217;s acting career or music&#8230;.it&#8217;s easy to get caught up in the To Do List and forget about the things that make you really passionate, that make you light up and enjoy life. </p>
<p>Some people only need someone they love to appreciate their life, some people need to see a beautiful sun set, or hear their favorite song&#8230;.No matter what each of us considers beautiful, I think it&#8217;s important that we don&#8217;t get caught up in all of the &#8220;have to&#8217;s&#8221; of life and forget about the things that we want to have around us.  It&#8217;s important to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us in life.  I think that without beauty, life isn&#8217;t worth living.  Nothing left to make you passionate, nothing to remind you of why you are alive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being overwhelmed by feelings is like falling&#8230;.It&#8217;s like being at the edge of a cliff and looking straight down; You decide to Jump&#8230;.to let go of the ledge&#8230;To free fall and see where you land.</p>
<p>Not knowing if you will even survive, but needing to find out despite the possible consequences&#8230;.logic gives way&#8230;..Nerves, fear, submission to feeling is all that is left.</p>
<p>Not fighting anymore you are free; Free to feel what ever comes naturally; Free to do what is needed to get that release</p>
<p>Sobbing Strain reaches your ears; Uncontrolled emotions are released</p>
<p>You&#8217;re no longer inprisoned by your thoughts and logic, no longer looking for a way to hide what you feel&#8230;Simply allowing yourself to be immersed in the natural emotions. </p>
<p>Feelings are no longer on a short leash but are the leader; your logical brain has no say in the matter;</p>
<p>The powerful out-pour of emotions is beautiful&#8230;.It&#8217;s a beautiful intimate truth</p>
<p>Make no excuses, Just let it all go and feel at peace&#8230;..</p>
