I absolutely loved this. I’ve always been drawn to the “look twice” places, flowers and weeds pushing through sidewalk cracks, the tiny ecosystems inside rotting logs… little worlds most people walk right past. And the line about wrinkles really touched me, too. Not just hands, but the faces that carry whole lifetimes of joy and sadness in their lines. Such a beautiful reminder that what we call ugly is often just beauty waiting to be seen.
Josh your words capture the hidden beauty in the overlooked and the misunderstood. It reminds us that sometimes, what we perceive as ugly or neglected holds a world of wonder and potential. ♥️
Josh, your poem gently reshapes the way we see the world. You reveal that beauty is not absent, only overlooked. Your images turn decay into devotion and darkness into light. Thank you for teaching us to look twice...and deeper.
Wabi-sabi my friend wabi-sabi
I often find more beauty in the broken, displaced and disheveled parts of life
Its what makes it beautiful in my mind
Completely agree. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Elijah 🙏💙
That fungal threads like chandeliers line made me grin~ because it’s such a weirdly pretty picture and it feels true without trying too hard.
So glad you liked it 🌹🙏
The last lines hit hardest: maybe the world’s hidden beauty only opens for those patient enough to notice.
Thank you 🙏♥️
