BEAUTY IN THE SUNSHINE

 

Finding something beneath the surface

Worthwhile in and of itself

Molecules of essence

A mix of substances

Propelled by conscious attention

            A pretty girl alone

            No mirror

            No man

            All feedback firsthand

            Those who pass by

            Unable to describe why

            Except she seems pacified

Until at last, an admirer,

To gaze and comment

Perhaps to try

As on she turns

Able now to ascend

Ready to walk, talk and hum a song

            Whereas before the new eyes

            She  was inanimate and withdrawn

            Now she feels how she looks

            And the whole process appeals

                        Now the world spins

                        And too fast at that

                        While an hour ago

                        It was barely worth the effort

Perhaps a future

With a child and a home…

Oops he walked off –

Must have one of his own

Or be almost blind

To not see beauty in the sunshine
