beauty

86 15 15
                                    

water droplets on a cold screen
sunrises waking from their bed of mountains
light bending and breaking underwater
rivers rumbling over sand and rock

your eyes glistening honey
amidst your abundant tears
your nails a fiery red
as if you dipped them in the flames of hell

your shirt today is like a river
cold and wet and blue
your pants are dark
like a sky without a helping of stars

you say i see beauty in nature only
but you, you are beauty and nature combined
you have the gentleness of a doe
with the untamed fire of a lion

you have the grace of a bird
but the clumsiness of a new born

you are billions of solar systems
dotted with flaming comets
sprinkled with burning stars

you, you are beautiful
with beauty and nature mixed
so cast away your worries and fears
and show your beauty
for all to see

you, you are beautifulwith beauty and nature mixedso cast away your worries and fearsand show your beauty for all to see
