What Beauty Is

Beauty Is… The sharp crunch of a leaf, red-yellow under your feet the crisp air of morning hours the endless colors of all flowers the exciting sensation of deja-vu quand tu marches dans une nouvelle rue it’s the gentle pounding that you get when your hand touches your chest the constant beating of your heart, with no effort on your part– Beauty is… The steady patter of the rain as it goes down the sewer drain reminding you that with love come the blessings from above it’s the sound of a laugh finding your other better half it’s the song of a bird those touching words that you heard it’s the curve of a smile that you’ve craved for a while– Beauty is… The confidence of an animal in the wild the innocent sincerity of a child the softest touch of a mother a surprise hug from a brother it’s a father’s warm, gentle gaze helping someone through a maze it’s the bond between sisters of the likes I’ve never known it’s in friendships so strong you can’t ever feel alone– Beauty is… The balance human beings have to stand straight on two feet it’s the magic of the pen to realize ideas on a sheet it’s how humans from different worlds can relate, it’s your kind neighbour and supportive classmate it’s the patience remarkable people go through in situations so mind-boggling you only wonder what you’d do– Beauty is… Found in visiting someplace you’ve missed undeniable in that priceless moment of bliss in the silent loudness of a sound as you prostrate with your head on the ground the sparkling tears of joy from one’s eyes the discovery of deep truth among the lies it’s in the unique snowflakes with their meticulous design it’s in looking through a microscope at nature’s details so fine– Beauty is… Praying in the woods among fall leaves and the trees It’s that sweet smooth loving caress on your cheeks from the breeze Beauty is not found in make-up, nor found through luxurious gates it’s a universal blessing that many forget to contemplate– Now I’m not sure how to end this, Cuz this topic is quite endless… Simply put– Beauty is serenity It’s the peace found within you it’s no wonder now that we say Salamu alaikum, Peace be upon you… So may you find on this day Colorful wonders out of the gray You have all the beauty that you need To satisfy your soul’s spiritual need, After all, God is sprinkling on us some of His Beauty And to appreciate it is the least of our duty…. ~
