BEAUTY
i encountered something today
it begins with a b
and ends with tragedy
something we see everyday
something we lose easily
something we forget
but i saw it today
i saw it in the drops of dew on morning grass
the brightening sky with tinges of orange
the past fears of darkness erasing
the silence filled with so much promise
the undisturbed beginning
i saw it plain in my face
dancing in my eyes
soothing the very skin that encases me
sadly it left
just as it arrived
now only a memory
to play over and over until impossible
but i wait
calm, hopeful
maybe such a thing will cross me again
all i can do, is remember
but even that is a luxury i can't afford.
