Beauty around me

Beauty came to visit me yesterday as a sweet maiden,
We talked for a while, without need of words...

We talked of long ago when we often spent time together,
And I felt alive again, recounting those wonderful days...

I told her that I often wondered how life would be,
If I would have chosen to be with her instead...

She smiled her disarming smile, and said
"You chose security over adventure and left me for wealth,
But I never let go of you...."

And she shone with a brilliance of a hundred moons,
And transformed into a thousand dazzling butterflies...

They flew in each direction and lit up my world,
And I saw beauty, scattered all around me...

In things, that were in front of me,
day and night...
