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 on every street
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
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
the pensioner speeding on his electric scooter
waving proudly to the passers by
it's the children feeding the ducks in the pond
the couple fighting over which film to watch this evening
it's the artisan graffiti on the bridge
bright in colour a story told in spray-paint
it's the boat passing down
the river
it's when the colours of a sunset
spread to create a magnificent theatre
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...
all this.

Thank you dear sorrenbarret, I find having a cup half full helps even on the days it's empty. 🌹
These lines remind me of a purple cushion I have. It has embroidered on it, “there are flowers everywhere for those who look”. It is such a positive saying, and dear Teddy your poem gives me the same uplifting message. A beautiful start to the new year dear poet 🌹
My dear Cassie thank you, I've done my job as a writer if you are uplifted by my words, most humbled dear friend, thank you so much. 🌹
Beautiful. This feels like a celebration, sweet Teddy.
A celebration of being alive it's a gift. Thank you so much dear Thomas, happy new year sir. 🌹
