Precious Wonders

At dawn,

Light enters the world in a splash of color:

Gold, yellow, red, and blue.

Out of the saintly silence,

A billion beating hearts

Begin to cheer, together, all at once,

Filling up the world with song.

This happens every single day.

If you do not see the beauty, it's not because it isn't there.

Rain touches me.

It trickles down my skin,

And I can feel it.

If you cannot feel the beauty, it's not because it isn't there.

Clouds never stop moving.

A rainbow is beautiful -

Even though it didn’t have to be.

But it is.

A newborn baby’s smile

Is pure joy.

If you do not enjoy the beauty, it's not because it isn't there.

My lover’s breath is a miracle.

Her heartbeat is a miracle.

Love is a miracle.
