The Beautiful Things----poem by Louise Zhang

what is beautiful
defies analysis
but you will know
it is a beautiful song when you hear one
it is a beautiful flower when you smell one
it is a beautiful woman when you meet one
it is a beautiful book when you read one
it is a beautiful dream when you have one

beautiful things exist
for all your senses
open yourself to the beautiful
you will receive its radiance
you will receive its fragrance
you will receive its vibrations
you will receive its celebrations

the beautiful
finds its dignity in melody
finds its integrity in diversity
finds its purity in simplicity
finds its uniqueness in harmony

the beautiful
a blessing to come to you
a prayer to come to you
a regard to come to you
a love to come to you
when you see the beautiful
feel the beautiful
salute the beautiful
beauty is in you
