Today is winter solstice: light, hope, rebirth. A poem for you, with love

BEAUTY OF THE WORLD

Just look around

and you will see

all the beauty of the world:

A little boy's mischievous glance,

bronze flashes in a girl's hair,

silver head of your mother,

eyes -- sky can't be that blue,

a winter day's crystal cold,

moss-grown stone in a wall of centuries,

velvet feet of little babies,

silk dancing shoes,

salad of seven colors,

tempting smile of a peach,

sigh of young trees,

old clock on that tower,

even a fast, red tram,

your favorite restaurant

or newest coffee cup,

ginger-cinnamon cake,

glowing candles,

powerful lightning,

skaters through the town,

songs from a guitar,

photos of a calendar, --

Can you see this?

It comes from you,

all the beauty of the world.

I am setting aside money to buy a yearly travel card for all the trains in Hungary, so that I can discover our country and show you its beauty. On the home page of my blog you can keep track of how far did I reach this goal so far: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/andreagerak
