Beauty
As it was described to me
Is that thing
Which in its presence
Awakens something inside
And makes me
In that moment
A little more alive
And undeniably more human
With each glimpse
Each sip
Touch and smell
In apt response
There is beautiful laughter
Coupled with
Beautiful tears
Both are a sure and certain sign
That I am indeed alive
And bestow honor
To Beauty
And just how magnificent
She truly is.
