The Beauty of Life

The beauty of life you can catch.
When materials you can detach.
It is so easy to catch with your eyes.
Its a nice day, with clear blue skies.

The simplicity of it can shock.
Like going on a small nature walk.
Its in the splendor of the hopping bunny.
For these things, you need no money.

Go out and build something new.
Make it out of junk, duct tape and glue.
Let free and wild your imagination.
The possibilities are an endless collaboration.

Grab old paint and do a mural on a backyard wall.
That can be one of the greatest memories you recall.
Go to the park and write a poem under a tree.
Later you'll remember, you had the chance to set your spirit free.

Chris this is so uplifting and makes me just want to go find an tree to sit under to set my spirit free~ now regarding your blog today, on deeper poems, I know what you mean, I really like Victorian and even older poetry for that very reason, I love trying to figure out what they mean, it is like a puzzle at times, but when I get it, I whisper, "that is beautiful"~
