Beauty

There’s beauty all around us

In the shining of the stars at night

In the flow of the river water trickling down the rocks

In the soft pink, orange, and purple of the sunset

And in the curves of the ocean waves

 

And I hope we can find it in the people around us

In the shining eyes of the ones we love

In the flow of locks draping down heads

In the soft tan and rich brown we see walking down the street

And in the curves of bodies all different from one another

 

Can we find it not only on the outside but in the souls and minds of others?

In the hearts shining with love

In the minds overflowing with misunderstood thoughts

In the soft and harsh laughs of joyous moments

And in the curves of the strings connecting one soul to another
