THE BEAUTY OF LIFE

The beauty of life isn't captured in files nor profiles.

It's in a blink or a thought of a distant place.

It lies in emotions that reminice of a time not yet spent.

It is a few seconds in a multiple uncaptured frames.

It lies in the ignored existence of composure.

It influences the untapped recognitions of appreciation.

 

The beauty of life is not about me showing or telling.

It's only about a few thoughts that inspire ambitions.

A few dreams that elevate fantasies.

 

The beauty of life is about me in a second painting a picture of elegant brush strokes,

the motion of the eye that composes a visual symphony,

it is an organised cluster of sounds that co-ordinates the performances of all other senses.

It is about leaving open a beat of the heart, only to fill it with the energies of the living.

 

The beauty of life isn't about searching for joy,

but learning from memories of both depression and tranquility.

It is about the heart losing weight,

the smile gaining width and height.

 

The beauty of life is about the value of sorrow depreciating.

 

For me it's about ploughing joy from seeds of madness,

or overturning a frown into a thing of beauty.

It's about dreams that don't need me to sleep and nightmares that have no back up files.

 

The beauty of life...

 

As much as I try to define it,

the statements always have a questionmark at the end.

 

So forever I search, for the beauty of life...
