The Hidden UtopiaA Poem by MarinaBeauty lies beneath
the sands
of the stone cold river
and under waves,
During a full moon
On a starry summer night
By the beach.
Beauty lies in the middle of
a jungle
by the spider's spiderwebs
and in the barks of dead trees.
Beauty lies
on the dark side of the moon,
and beneath the molten core
of the earth.
Beauty lies
a million miles away from here,
on a different planet
with alien creatures
and talking bunnies.
Beauty lies
in the flesh of a fish
and the stomach of a starving whale
Beauty lies
beneath the skies and in the tears
that babies cry.
It lies under the creaking steps
Of an abandoned tenement building,
on main street-
by the park.
It lies between
two lonely trees.
In the shadows
that loom from corners,
beauty lies.
Beauty lies in
the puddles
of rainwater.
Between the cracks,
of a broken mirror,
lies beauty.
Beauty lies, not on the outside but the inside.
Beauty hides...
where no one ever looks.
