The Hidden Utopia

Beauty 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.

I like constructive critisism.

The solar eclipse (new moon) represents everything that is hidden by other greater things of the world.

As the sun hides the moon.
