Found Beauty

The beauty of a woman is an intangible thing.

Not found in a particular shape or a certain color.

Not the tilt of her eyes

or the curve of her lips.

The beauty of a woman

is found in her holding space

for her sorrows and yours.

The beauty of a woman

is found in her quiet and laughter

her misery and joy.

The beauty of a woman is felt more than seen.

The beauty of a woman is her reflection of the world back to you.

  1. This is a poem and note to the same time. A little bit like a Mantra it seems to me. One I might print, cut out and feature in my diary to keep it in my memory! Well done.

    1. Thank you Aurora! And you’re right it started as a note and sort of morphed into a poem.

  2. This is sheer gorgeousness, Amy. I love it all, but “in her holding space” especially struck me. I wanted to hug it. Thanks so much for adding your wonder to the fest!
