More Beautiful

more breathtaking

than the mountains in Arizona

your colors are more vivid

than the desert sunsets

your essence gentler

than the deer that walk among the cactus and I

your presence consumes me more

than the view in Colorado

more inspiring

than the climb to the top of the mountains

your eyes are more soothing

than the crystal lakes I’ve touched

you are more pure

than the fine white sand in Florida

more complex and vast

than the outstretching ocean

you are more fascinating

than the shells I collect

of all of the stunning places I’ve seen

you are the most beautiful to me
