Action of Natural Beauty
You look in the mirror but
what you see isn't really you
Sure it's you standing there
but it's missing something too
You don't see the way your eyes sparkle
when talking about something you like
You don't see the peace you contain
when you're sound asleep at night
You don't see the concentration wrinkles
when reading something you wrote
You don't see the way your face contorts
with laughter at a joke
Sure you see yourself
but there are things that you don't see
one of those things being
the action of your natural beauty.
