Where Is Beauty?

Beauty is in the sunrise, a softened yellow beaming at dawn 

Beauty is in the sunset, a glowing orange,

Fading into dark shades of purple and deep blue

Beauty is in the northern lights, swirls of green and purple

Gleaming across the sky on a Scandinavian winter night

Beauty is in the first snowfall,

Snowflakes kissing noses and blue frozen lakes

Beauty is in autumn leaves, colourful and bright,

Washing away the green and floating through the crisp, October sky 

Beauty is in a hot summer’s day, melting ice cream cones

And the glistening sea, sun-kissed skin with a sea salt touch 

Beauty is on the first day of spring,

The melody of the pastel flowers singing in a meadow,

Ancient oak trees swaying in the wind,

Bees buzzing along with the breeze 

Beauty is in the night sky, vast and mysterious,

A blanket of stars surrounding the deep blue 

Beauty is in a rainy day, the scent of hot chocolate

Near the embers of a glowing fire,

Ttwilight’s curtain falling softly, like rainfall

Beauty is in everything in between 

From golden sunshine to a weeping blue sky, 

From an ocean of secrets with hidden beauty underneath

To a colourful galaxy, only some could truly admire 

Beauty is in an unknown universe,

Fireflies, effervescent, dancing through a Parisian night

A small but beautiful canal running through Amsterdam,

A unique painting hanging in a museum, or in a palace in Austria

A sculpture carved by Michelangelo, in a holy church in Italy

A greek god, majestically sailing through the islands of Greece and Turkey 

To some, there's no beauty

To me, it is everywhere and everything in between.
