Just because you are blind and unable to see my beauty doesn’t mean it does not exist. ~ Margaret Cho, BrainyQuote.com
A violent storm stirs in an awakening
Bitter and cold
A brilliant sun above the horizon, glowing
A sight to behold
For all the hate, anger, and suffering
Still, I see much beauty in this world
Pesky weeds in a sunflower garden
Myriad tiny suns sway in unison
Bright yellow florets dancing in the breeze
White balls of seed ready to ride the wind
Weeds we may be, but…
Can you not see my beauty?
Whispers the dandelion to the mighty sunflower
The grass rustles to the dance of nature
As a gentle breeze caresses its slender blade
On it a little grasshopper alights
While it watches in awe
The fluttering wings of a butterfly
It spreads its folded accordion wings
To reveal its papery translucent fineness
Can you not see my beauty?
Sings the grasshopper to the butterfly
As wars are waged against nature
Animate and inanimate
Should we pause and ponder
In a place where humility and modesty thrive
Perhaps we will find a real sense of joy
In a depth of beauty ignorant to many
And perhaps then
Will we truly be worthy
Of the return of another sunrise
Basking us in the warmth of her eternal glow
Perhaps then…
She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
