To Be Beautiful

 


To be Beautiful,

is relative,

to what is beauty.

 

A puddle in a

pothole,

a rainbow in oil.

 

A sad smile,

tears on a cheek,

laughing through pain.

 

A ticking clock,

in an abandoned house,

measuring time.

 

A meal that lingers,

heartburn,

but delicious.

 

The hint of nudity,

when not called for,

in casual moments.

 

An abundance of

subtlety,

in loud places.

 

The depth of emptiness,

in a crowd,

dancing to the band.

 

Stilted sunlight,

through blinds,

against a plain wall.

 

Their laughter,

standing out,

filling the heart.

 

The beholder,

smitten,

with wry intimacy.

 

Strange beauty,

abounds,

everywhere.
