In the Eye

There is beauty in the way 

Streetlights illuminate falling snow

Especially at night

A silent ballet recital to see

As it blankets the earth and all

There is beauty in the sprouts

That line the trees during spring

Especially in the morning

When the birds sing their songs

And the Earth smells sweet

There is beauty in the water

As it shimmers during summer

Especially in midday

The sun beams down on the waves

As they ripple with reflection

There is a beauty in the trees

Come fall and they bare themselves

Especially in the evening

When the clouds are colorful

And the sky is a mural.

There is a beauty in just about 

Anything. 

If you look hard enough.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

And there is beauty in the way this poem identifies with the naturalist in each of us. It's very soothing to read with an ever so slight admonishment at the end. Perhaps we all need to look harder for the beauty and the good in our world and in each other. I enjoyed the read.
