I See The Beauty

by T. Elizabeth

Where ever I walk, I see the Beauty.

Where others see graffiti on a city sidewalk,

I see cement being used as a new medium

A rainbow of words painted across drab concrete

Teaching people, telling people,

Look at me! I'm down here too!

Where others see a muddy trickle of water

Making its way to the gutter

I see a river

The lights of the city refracting off of it

Sparkling like a diamond in the rough.

Will you come walk with me?

See the Beauty with me?

Because when two see it,

The Beauty of what others don't see,

There is twice as much.

There is twice as much to fill our eyes

To see

To share

To keep

To remember

To come back to

With you.
