"Everything holds a tinge of beauty, something unique, but not everyone recognizes something beautiful." ~ by poet Some of the most beautiful things in the world are those that are visually impossible to see... A fern frond that we can feel, not yet uncurled Mated doves cooing, "Come to me, my love" Or lofty wind in a canvas sail when it's unfurled Promises of a pewter sky when rain's sorely needed Swaddled newborns while dreaming in slumber Starlight skies when the view is not impeded Or fine fertile soil of this Earth in shades of umber And polished pearls when oysters are seeded The obvious sunrise morns and sunset twiights A soul that was lost, then found its way back Wavering hues of colors from the Northern lights Pretty, a flower, growing in a sidewalk crack Crystalized snowflakes and other wintry delights Beauty can exist inside a good person's heart In the prismed colors radiating from waterfalls And at the greeting of lovers who have been apart It's found in lost friendships by tearing down walls Realizing life can be happy again with a fresh start Our sweetest memories, when in dreams we drift Smiles endowed to strangers who wear a frown That may be what they needed to give them a lift The glowing face of a bride, in her wedding gown And how beautiful the offer of forgiveness as a gift
