Beautiful Irony

Crystal clear skies dominate the scenery  A cool breeze at summer's end Each combined to create perfect beauty  Designed to bring joy to the hearts of the most hardened souls  So I turn toward my friends Searching hopelessly for their happiness For a sign of appreciation for the beauty of it all  But that I cannot find All I see are broken hearts Disheveled lives  Wounded feelings and lost souls While all the while My mind is overwhelmed by the beauty of the day And the inability to share the happiness  What beautiful irony

It was, in a way. When I wrote this, I was feeling both sad and happy at the same time.
