Life's Elusive Beauty

 I can feel the beauty of life right next to me, 
 It is so close,
 So close it is even flirting with me
 I have danced with this beauty before,
 I have experienced and touched this beauty we crave and live for.

While dancing I have encountered her elusive ways,
That ever elusive sweetness,
I can feel it just around the next bend,
I can see it so clearly,
Yet we are separated by the thick glass of lief's upheavals.   


In my hands yet slipping away like a running stream,
In my sight yet elusively moving on.


The beauty calls out to me,
She beckons that I embrace her,
She touches me then un shamefully disappears
Waiting,
Just waiting for me to have the courage to find her again.
