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
