Beauty Lies Within You

beauty lies within you,
you sweet, sweet soul
and it shines brighter
than the stars in the sky,
overwhelming all of your being
so that it pours out
to water the forrests
surrounding you,
bringing sunshine rays
through the clouds,
giving warmth
from your fire to the cold;
you, darling
have such an important purpose
dwelling within you,
ready to soar into the sunrise,
ready to leap across oceans,
ready to melt
into the hardened ground
to bring life;
set your beauty free.
