Beneath the rubble

there is beauty where i look
some days i need to look harder

i used to wake up and taste the promise
of wonder and magic in the air

now it's more of a daily struggle
maybe the connections have become rusty

perhaps life just wore me down
but optimism is truly worth the struggle
