The Beauty Within the Overlooked
Take a look outside; at the war the trees sway, the birds fly, and the sky moves. Look at its elaborate design. Breathe in the air around you, listen to the sounds around you. Look at the beauty and experience vividness as its finest and write about what you think, what you feel, and what you see. What does the world outside make you feel? How does this associate with your emotional state? What beauties can you make out in the world around you, and in turn make out within yourself? There are no limits to your creativity! Just share!
Quiet Musings
I wonder then
Many have as well
What our purpose
In this world
May be
And yet
These wonders,
I wonder
Do they occur
To the common salamander
As she rests
Betwixt the underside
Of a rotting log
And the mossy ground?
No,
I don’t think they do.
So then,
Just as she - the tiny and color splotched salamander, does
Prancing her joyful dance on the forest floor after each fresh rain
Digging her soft fingers into the moistened ground for grubs
Migrating from the water and wiggling to the forest and then back again
All the while these wonders occur outside her musings
Just as she,
So too will I
