Some people look at this world,
and see nothing
but the dark decay of
death and destruction.
You have seen past that
to the beauty
that resides everywhere.
I look at your pictures,
your snippets of reality
and realize that you see beauty
in everything.
May I live in your world for a while?
There is darkness in this world,
A lot of it.
But there is intense beauty as well.
As children,
We see the beauty easily.
Wondering what the colors mean
What the animals say
What the heart really is.
We must learn,
As we venture from childhood to adulthood,
To continue seeing the world
With the wonderment of a child.
Otherwise,
The darkness consumes us,
And we are left alone
In darkness and hate
Wallowing in our own self doubt.
