Life is beautiful.
If you see it that way.
Life is ugly.
If you see it that way.
The way we see the world is a reflection of what is inside.
People are beautiful.
If you see them that way.
People are ugly.
If you see them that way.
The way we view other people is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves.
You are beautiful.
I see it that way.
Please see it that way yourself.
There is always something that inspires me to write. It’s usually me working things out. I’m always working things out. 🙂 In my life right now, I am watching two people go through a similar hard thing and watching one person handle it with grace, the other lashing out. And sitting down to process that, this is the poem that came out.

Love this, Chris.., much truth to contemplate! One of my fav quotes: “It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.” -William Carolos Williams.
I look forward to more poetry from you!
