Beauty Is An Empty Space

When I reflect
The advances of today
And the progress of tomorrow
Gratitude is not forthcoming
Desire is kept in a shallow pool within
Beautiful a distant memory

The ethereal, unwavering presence of a human
Whose love makes one grin with a simple thought
Where memories surface with the slightest of ease
Brighter than the hottest summer days
More peaceful than the quietest of cool nights
Simpler than the most distant star

That is beauty to me
