I Believe

I believe in beautiful mornings, Lapis lazuli skies, Cotton ball clouds, Waking up slowly, Feeling the lovely warmth, More ardent than a trillion suns, Emanating from the person beside you, As you can’t help it But embrace the small of their back. I believe in dusk, Sunsets of roses and tulips, Red, pink, orange, purple. I believe in star shine, Coal-black nights, Pierced by billions of stars, Precious sparkling ores and gems, Surrounding a crescent moon, Like a smile amid the darkness, But still finding it not as wonderful As the way they smile When you gingerly caress their face. I believe in beauty, The beauty of nature, The beauty of the world. But it isn’t nearly as wonderful As when you have someone To share it with.
