I find beauty everywhere
in the leaves, in the trees,
I find beauty running in the lines across my palms,
Beauty in the array of colours in the sky
I discover beauty in places they wouldn't normally be
I discover beauty in the tiny eyelashes beneath and above my eye
Beauty in the small movements
I find beauty in the birth of life, and beauty in the fading of time.
In the clouds I see stories, I mould shapes out of their cotton skin
In the sun I find patience, I find euphoria
In my ebony with hair I find everlasting peace
And in my smile I find a shard of me

There is beauty everywhere.
