Ella Ryan

We go away

And we look at the night sky

And we wonder why everything isn’t this beautiful

 

We fall in love

And suddenly everything is brighter

And we wonder why we haven’t seen it before

 

But go home

By yourself

And look at the night sky

And look at all of the things you have grown to be used to

 

Try to look at things again

With new eyes

And notice how different everything becomes

 

You will find that it is not only the far away places that are extraordinary

You will find that there is beauty in most everything

If you choose to see it

 

And maybe you will find

That life is extraordinary

And you just haven’t been looking
