Beauty is

© By Benjamin J. Tengelsen

Beauty is a ten story building.
Beauty is a parking garage.
Beauty is a desert oasis-
If its not some thirsty man's mirage.

Beauty is an empty horizon.
Beauty is no shoes on your feet.
Beauty is a broken umbrella
When tear drops from heaven overflow the dirty streets.

It's in your mind
It's in your mind
Beauty is in your mind
Your own.

Beauty is the voice of my father.
Beauty is the laugh of my son.
Beauty is the plea of a sinner
when he says, All my wicked deeds are done.

The words they put inside your mouth don't mean a thing.
It's in your mind
It's in your mind
Beauty is in your mind-
Your own.
