Illumination

Take a look
At the world
Through my eyes,
And experience
The beauty I see.
Let my words
Be your mirror,
So that you
May observe yourself
And others
In a different light.
Perhaps
The illumination gained
Will allow you
To recognize
And appreciate
The humanity
We all share,
As well as
The stunning artistry
Of the planet
On which we live.
May you also
Distinguish
What it is
To be fully alive,
And find inspiration
To live that way.
