Beautiful is the word I use
Rain on a warm southern spring day
Smell of life, of growth.
The sound of cicadas harmonizing in summer
Symphony soundtrack to a beautiful sunset
The fall of autumn leaves from maple and oak
One last display of life before the cold
The vast white of frozen sky
Frozen blankets that crunch under feet
Beautiful is the word I use
A person who knows they are imperfect
Yet stands tall and carries on
Believing in themselves
A person who sees past imperfection
They can love whole heartedly
Nothing is more perfect and fulfilling
A person with dreams of things beyond
Never stopping because of fear of failure
Taking what they have earned
Beautiful is the word I use
For new love, young love, lasting love
For the joy of finding that one in a billion, trillion
For love unrequited, heartbreak, and lessons learned
Such is love, such is life
Beautiful is the word I use
What would you use?
