Beauty
The world will be saved by beauty.
Not by guns
or politicians
or warlords.
But by hummingbirds
and magnolias
and evening serenades.
The sweet succulent fruit
hanging from branches—
that's what will save us.
Morning walks in the fog
a baby's smile
the first petals of spring
jasmine.
A glorious sunset
bringing with it
the hope of another day.
