Cosmic Beauty

People often tell me how beautiful I am.

I laugh and say, “Thanks, it’s my soul.”

It’s my ability to laugh through the pain,

To thrive through the hate,

To love when all I see is hurt and disgrace.

Find me at peace with myself,

Tapped into the universe,

Feeling the pulse of the earth,

Dancing with the rhythm of the stars.

United with the moon and sky,

My beauty will last forever,

Near and far.
