Beautiful

Where is beauty to be found?

Is it truly in the beholder’s eye?

Does it really only run skin deep?

Can it be rescued from yet another cliché

Or broadened still from horizon to horizon?

Is it merely a pregnant pause?

A moment of quiet reflection in

An otherwise horrid, insidious day?

 

Can it soothe the beast?

Calm the Storm?

Or is it the actual storm itself

Sequestered in a lace-trimmed veil,

Stalking tree-lined streets of gold

To rest beneath my windowsill?

 

Or is it you, my sweetest one?

Are you my beauty, draped with grace?

Would darkness fill me were your face

Not burned into my memory?

I could not,

Would not want to know.
