Beauty Lives

Beauty lives in an old, oak tree,
and a wise, old owl staring back at me.
It flows in the stream that bubbles down the lane,
and falls in crystal droplets of a gentle, spring rain.
It smiles a sunfilled smile on the reflection in the glass,
and floats in a puffy, white, cottonball cloud going past.
It's a translucent rainbow in the sky, colorful and bright,
and the shimmering, glitter of the stars in the ebony of night.
It's a sailboat on the water, that is gently rocked by waves,
and in the mystery of the snowcapped mountains and dark & dusty caves.
It's giggles and smiles on the faces of my 3 year olds,
and the rising sun on the horizon as a new hopefilled day unfolds.
It's my sweetheart's contagious laughter, when we're having fun,
and the calm, cool evening breeze at the setting of the sun.
It's my favorite Pearl Jam song playing on the stereo,
and at a concert with my friends, just enjoying the show.
Beauty lives every day, in each and every moment to be found,
and it's a gift to be enjoyed if you take the time to look around.
