Beauty in the World

Some people find
The superficial things in life
Beautiful.
Some don't find
Beauty in the world
At all.
As for me,
I find beauty
In the little things.
The sweet, accepting smile
Of people crossing your path.
Listening to people speak
A light in their eyes
A smile on their face,
Talking of sweet memories,
As if it happened yesterday.
Helping those who feel defeated
By the world, by society.
Desperately needing love,
Someone who cares,
Someone to listen,
When they feel muted.
Someone to believe in them,
When they don't believe in themselves.
Volunteering for a cause,
Knowing you stand for something
You believe in.
Walking in the rain,
Each drop revealing the distinct
Beauty nature has to offer.
Each little drop
Washing away bitterness,
Cooling your hot head.
Hiking on the mountains,
Towering trees that block the sun,
Some exploding with leaves,
Some motionless, raw.
Blooming flowers at my feet,
Bugs crawling past the dirt, rocks.
Evidence life exists
Evidence life is beautiful.
Spontaneous adventures with close friends
Driving around,
Music blaring, windows down
Wind blowing in our hair,
No real destination.
Feeling as if,
The world is endless with possibilities.
Late night conversations,
Pouring your heart out,
Releasing the stress
You've let build up within you.
Those little things
Add up.
Bursting my heart,
Clarifying my head,
Beauty.
