Beauty That Lies Within

I look at the world around me
At so much that lives to be seen
Feel what can not be felt and see what can not be seen
Delve to the depth of life to
Where beauty has always been

The beauty of the rain that lies hidden within
The smells, the chill, the song of the wind
The beauty of the blackest wolf lies
in its haunting howl
The magic of a tiger lives i
n the stealth of its prowl
The depth of the sea that
hides its treasures of wonder
Beauty that can be found
unlike any other

The grace of the beings of water that
destines beauty alone
The loveliest pearl hidden in the
ugliest oyster's womb
The beauty of the wind that
lies in its sway
the beauty of the natures smile
at the secrets she keeps at bay

The beauty of a smile that lies
in the melody of a laugh
The beauty of the soul that shines
through an ugly mark
The magic of love that is woven
between hearts
A tiny spark that can light up
an infinite dark
The beauty of innocence that lives in a child
The whispers of truth through a din of lies

The beauty of life's dedication and purpose
That can grow so bright from within an ugly surface
The legacy that lives in the beauty of a sacrifice
The beauty of courage to stand up for what is right

Life shows us in a million ways that in the depths
is where the most wonderful beauty is always kept
I could search and gaze in awe for all of eternity
And still be amazed at the beauty that lies beneath.
