beauty part 2 or 3

beauty is

being, loving yourself

being hurt and feeling beautiful anyway

the arms of those who hug us,
to make our hurt melt away
like butter on a sunny day

the smile of child
whose fleeting troubles
have just been solved
my mom's hug

to know what bothers you now
will barely be a thought in five
years

letting go of the things that
weigh you down

being surprised at your lightness

until floating is normal

beautiful life

beauty is

open to love,
brave and kind

a person that smiles
and shares cookies

beauty
grows inside you
and
learns something new
like how to dance
or to sing
or anything

beautiful is

being who you expect
yourself to be

being the person you want
to see again tomorrow
because you like her

the raindrops' dance

next to me you shall
be sheltered, lost in the song
of the raindrops' dance

kindness a rainbow
the color of our daydream
of love and chance

our words a window
into the seat of the storm
and then silence

two friends knowing
no words need be said
the sun rises

earth affirmation

at one with this earth
i breathe in only goodness
and radiate light

i step with grace
upon fertile ground
i am nurtured by the wind's sound

the sky and its birds
sing to me a joyous life
that is always near

when darkness threatens
a tumultuous storm
i shroud my soul's soft form

as it always does
it passes promptly by
leaving a steady sky

beauty is

in his look

on the cover
of a book

the leaf of a tree

a teller's smile out her window-
the lady bug tattoo on her toe

his crooked smile...
asleep on his
Italian bathroom tile

a fairy in the air
flying through
sparkles of dust

a unsolicited compliment...
a shooting star
that's heaven sent

breathing in the
stars of the sky,
midnight blue

as your birthday wish
comes true

love and moonlight

beauty is being

in love and dancing under

a summer’s night sky

the cool wind draws you

closer and closer still ’till

you both disappear
