Unaware of all the moments she has missed,
She stands alone as the world lives and breathes
Beautifully around her.

Perhaps the movements of the clouds are
Too monochrome; perhaps the shifting
Of the early summer sunlight is too
Slow; perhaps the beauty of this
Already lovely morning is too subtle…

Or perhaps she believes the lie
That tells the unsuspecting where
Beauty cannot be found.

This world would be a better place
If more people saw what a good place
It is: full of vistas, full of adventures,
Full of moments that can fill
Our hearts with joy and remind us that
We are never alone.
