Beautiful

Puerto Real, Spain

I like beautiful things 

Just not the kind you can buy

Use and throw away 


I like beautiful things

Just not a nickel

A gold watch 

Or a diamond studded ring


I like beautiful things 

Just not a car

A fancy title

Nor a 7 figure pay 


I like beautiful things 

Like the smell of sun 

Burning on my skin

Like the twinkle in your eye 

Taking me for a spin 

Like the sweet melody 

From a breath retained 

Like the gentle pouring 

Of a soul untamed 


I like beautiful things 

Those untouched 

Unloved and unstained 

I like beautiful things 

Those resistant

Loyal and proclaimed 

Those ever growing

Exploring and always sharing 

Beyond its display 


I like beautiful things 

Like the seed

The root and all its purities 

Like a drop, a puddle 

And the eternal waters 

They were meant to be 

Like the unrefined and unpolished 

Yet perfectly defined 

Like the thorns leading to a rose pedal

So hated but necessary 

Like the wrinkles on top of my forehead 

Betraying my not so youthful days 

Yet demonstrating my experiences 

And saving grace 


I like beautiful things 

Like the inspiration 

That gets me out of my sleep

Like the passion 

That wakes me out of a defeat

Like the love that shakes priorities 

Back into existing sacraments 


I like beautiful things 

Like an unlabeled gift

A free gesture 

Or an unspoken admiration 

The aroma of life

Living and creating all beautiful things
