Hues

Dear Beautiful,

There's something about a painting

Something about how someone can spend hours and hours letting their eyes canvass over every hue and every particle of a work of art

Some will spend huge fortunes to be able to hang this priceless item on an old rusty hook in their bedroom -- just to be able to gaze on it for the rest of their life

Some will write books, reviews, detailed examinations of just one piece of parchment with a hundred brush strokes on it

Yet some, will pass by

Some will keep on walking quickly by, unaware of the treasure they distance themselves from

Unaware that what they pass with a lift of an eyebrow, or the makings of a scowl, brings the biggest smile to someone else's face

Unaware that the colors, the hues, that that painting possesses brings true joy to someone who truly sees its beauty

Don't get me wrong, I've before been a skeptic that situations can truly be beautiful in life, like some of those paintings

How wrong I was!

I see now that God is the one holding the brush with joy filled colors of yellows, blues, purples and greens

I believe that in our own painting, He's painted in deep forests and clouds, sunsets and stars, dreams and wonders, love -- and so much of it

I know how beautiful you are to me, and what we have together

I see it

I'd spend any fortune, any effort, any time, just to be able to gaze on this beauty that we have for the rest of my life

Even though some may pass by

Some may not realize the masterful painting done by our Creator

Some may not notice the absolute beauty of you and I so perfectly painted together

I do

And it's something I never, ever..want to ever stop looking at

Forever Yours
