Behold beauty
in slumber\rain\stillness\pain
eager as life itself, the lofty
notes that are silence, love like breath.
perfection only sometimes
present, like the sunshine.
stillness, striven for in the dark
how friendly, then, the silence
like a lullaby.
See sadness
that is crushing. that is
the necessity of all that is living.
a once-true spark of intense
passion. a meter for what is
true and beautiful, naturally
without varnish.
Feel freedom
in smiling\daring\hoping\caring
in the outreach, the withdrawal, the sense of
self. as if the whole world conspired
for your pinpoint of possibility.
and yet, it shines out
in everyone\
