Beauty is alive, it really is
it's everywhere we look
if we keep our eyes open
we can see it
it's in every corner
it's the baby crying in the pram
the man packing his shopping
at the supermarket
the lady on the bus reading a book
it's the bird flying above us
searching for a new branch
to rest its tired wings
it's the ants marching
in the grass working
to have a feast in the winter
the ladybird on the leaf
swaying in summer's wind
it's the rain and the thunder
miraculously in tune
in the same scene
it's the water sprayed up from a puddle
that's just met a moving car
it's the pensioner speeding by
on his electric scooter, waving proudly to the passers by
it's the children feeding the ducks in the pond
it's the couple fighting over which film to watch this evening
it's the graffiti on the bridge
bright in colour
it's the boat passing down
the river
it's when the sunsets and magical colours bloom
when the moon rises up to take over the night sky
and a star comes shooting by
if you look with an open heart
even for a second, you will see it too
because life really is...
a swan's lake.

Richness and diversity - anything other than turning outward and appreciating a textured world is not worth a candle.
Thanks for the reminder Teddy.
Not worth a light, and thank you dear Dave, for the reminder of home. 🌹
It's a wonderful world sung by Lois Armstrong in poetry. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A lovely most positive view of things that adds pleasure to life. Most well expressed friend.

As we pass through life beauty surrounds us. Most of it goes unnoticed, because we are so focused on our own passing. But once in a while someone calls to our attention what we are missing. They call that person a poet. You are one. Thanks for reminding me. - Phil A.
