What is Beautiful?

What is beautiful?
Can it be contained in a glass jar?
When you catch a shooting star.

Is it the oil paints blended together on a canvas.
Representing a summer sunset.

Or does it show in the candle that burns when you read?
Invigorating the air with it's sentimental sent.

When the last leaf falls in a circular motion can you predict where it will fall?
Can you capture the movement and keep it forever in a photograph?

Does she shine in beauty when the pouring rain glistens on her face?
Can you see it in her flushed cheeks?

Is it in the way she wears that red dress so elegant?
Waiting for her prince charming.

Can you believe that she is here tonight?
Dancing. She let herself go.
Catch her. Before the music does.

Is it beautiful that she has god by her side?
And love on her wing?
Do you believe in soul mates?

Is beautiful shining on her smile?
When she looks at you.
Is it the way they look at each other?
Examining every inch, so to not forget a thing.

When she ruffles your hair and says she loves you?
They way she makes you waffles and hash browns?

Or is beautiful only a concept of the dreamers?
Wishing they had what many do have.
A dream is a wish a heart makes.
So the beauty beholds the dream.
Which is filled with love.

Love in your eyes when you looked at me
and told me that I was beautiful.
