Beauty



I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, and
I’ve realized there are so many
strikingly gorgeous people in the world.
No, I am not talking about the long hair
Or the blinding teeth or the amethyst eyes, those
lovely windows to the soul.
No, I am talking about the souls, themselves.
Beautiful, creative and unique souls comprised of
the most exquisite stardust. It’s none of the things we call
‘beautiful,’ here on Earth, though the face of true beauty hides
behind them.
