Beautiful Poem by Sonya Florentino

Beautiful

Rating: 5.0


I'd like to live in a world
Where everthing is intrinsically beautiful
Where nothing is intrinsically bad
And no one is intrinsically sad

I'd live to live in a world
Where everything is as beautiful
as a bird flying free flying high
Against a beautiful permanent sky

The bird has been a metaphor for freedom time out of mind. But i wonder, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, if they are really free from the chains of the skyway.Excellent write, Sonya. As always, Sandra

yes we can..! :) the 1st stanza is composed of very simple lines broadened and deepened by the rhythmic repetition of a single but vast and potent word in 'intrinsically'. and flight for me is the ultimate freedom. beautiful indeed.
