why can't you see
the stars amidst the darkness
or the iridescence after the skies
spit fierce rain across the earth
the tranquility after death,
that split second of serenity
before a last breath is exhaled
the reverberation of laughter
amid the noisy street
or the familiar twinkle of lights
in the midst of overcrowded cities
why can't you see
the dewdrops atop marigolds
after a savage storm
or the picturesque lush of rose bushes
after cold winter nights
those awe-inspiring thoughts
that impinge you during sleepless hours
or the sunlight shining through your scars
open your eyes,
my dear,
for the world is as beautiful
as you.
