Today, I wonder, where is beauty
my heart heavy as the autumn rain
wet maple leaves clinging to my feet
watching wild geese in formation
pondering their final destination
they care not about the gray skies
Today, I wonder where is beauty
my soul releases a mournful sigh
creator won't you send me a sign
watching the clouds shape shifting
noticing the phoenix's fiery struggle
breaking through the day's darkness
Today, I wonder where is beauty
my eyes hoping to catch a glimpse
of the peaceful blue heron in flight
In silence, waiting, waiting
waiting, for a sign from the heavens
standing soaking wet
a baptism of rain
cleansing
Today, I wonder where is beauty
finding it, unspoiled on
white flapping wings, descending from the sky
as the sun began to shine
collateral beauty
