Beautiful Things
There are
so few
beautiful things
anymore;
Here,
the sidewalks
lay broken and unsteady
by the roots of
weary grey trees with
somber leaves,
but the dandelions
scattered through the breaks
freely gaze up in awe, and,
despite their station,
are deemed beautiful
by the wide-eyed.

Just wow. This really spoke to me.
I once stared at a dandelion in the crack of a sidewalk for what felt like hours as I sat on a bench. I was struck by its simple yet radiant beauty as it emerged from the cracked concrete. The neighborhood I was in was relatively run down and there was trash everywhere but I just couldn’t stop staring at that sunny dandelion.
Thank you for bringing back this memory.

Thanks for sharing, Her! I think there are still beautiful things if we can see them.

Such beauty in all directions. <3
I wonder if the dandelions and cracked sidewalk tag team and enhance each other's beauty in a nuanced way. Great write! :)
