What do you find beautiful?
Is it the way
the sun crests over the horizon,
or how the waves crash
upon the shore?
For me,
the sight of someone
who is genuinely happy
is beautiful.
You don't find that
a lot nowadays
or really ever.
People will plaster on a mask
to convince you
and themselves
that they are okay.
The truth is though,
they're probably not.
So when I get a glimpse
of someone so blissful
about their life
and the surroundings,
I find that beautiful.
A real smile
will shed light
when there seems to be none left.
It is truly stunning
to see someone in an elated state
when they may not have always been that way.
