Beauty Beneath the Surface

Listen to the musical, harmonic sound, Its Dear Beauty coming down. She is in every detail of my eye. She brings to life the wonderful sky. I see her in the plump girl, the geek, the recluse, And the neat freak. She gives me new light and perception. She shows me that it is not what lies in front of my eye, but what we do not see, hear, taste, touch, or smell. Its how we feel at the moment its revealed. Beauty is a child at play, a crisp rainy day, a clear, blue sky, a stomach cramping laugh, the sound of a child receiving his/her first toy. Beauty is the feeling of accomplishment when you get an “A.” Beauty is a clever thing, she makes the most---strange and absurd become the most, wonderfully captivating. To me, beauty is the soul of things springing to life.
