BEAUTIFUL

I searched for you today
But I wasn't meant to find you.
I've been searching my whole life
But I wasn't meant to find you.
As I felt your presence closer
I struggled to reach you.
I pedalled faster,
I struggled harder,
But the wind pushed me back,
Away from you.

Yet how could I truly be sad,
When so much beauty surrounds me,
With so much beauty around me,
With so much beauty within me?

Did you see the ocean today?
A glowing turquoise gem
That stretched on forever.
I will immerse myself
To wash away the pain.
