Beautiful Things

I was taught to always search beyond
Boundaries and limits to realize what is truly 
Beautiful.  Such is a beautiful thing beyond 
The threshold of ecstasy, pass the bridge of
Hopefulness.

It is a beautiful thing when you are the 
Lone soul roving in the presence of dawn.
There is no substitute for letting one's
Strong black tresses fall down below her
Waist, then looking back with a radiant
Smile. Knowing you are beautiful.

Relaxing watching beautiful things on an
Autumn morning.  Going on an autumn 
Walk under a red leaf tree.  I declare this
Day most beautiful winking with starlight
On it's summer's night.

A sunrise 
There, look a rainbow on a pristine
Summer morning after a raining dawn.
This sunrise named a most beautiful 
Thing as a rainbow sings.

These things cause the lengthening of 
The list of beautiful things.  The cause
Will not be in flaws for it lays in
Nature as it applauds.
