The Definition of Beauty: The Dictionary Has Got It All Wrong


Beautiful: 
Adjective
"Exciting aesthetic pleasure;
Generally pleasing".
 
What the definition doesn't tell you,
Is that beautiful,
Is the way you look at the sky,
With stars in your eyes,
Beaming brighter than the man on the moon.
 
Beautiful, 
Is the way you believe in God,
Even though you know science.
The way Adam and Atom
Can Coexist.
 
Beautiful,
Is the way you breathe on the beach,
Filling your lungs,
With the ocean.
 
Beautiful,
Is you.
