something beautiful

if something moves us in a way that
shakes part of our being
makes us realize something drastic

makes us look at our own lives

plays a melody on our heart strings

makes us re-evaluate our priorities

makes things click

or just makes us feel
anything

we call it beautiful.

but what do we call it when
something surpasses all expectations for 'beautiful'
do we call it
awe inspiring?
 magnificent?
breath-taking ?


does it make us speechless or
does it make us speak?

does it take our breath away or
make us breath deeper?

does it put us in a state of awe or
does it inspire?

i think the real question is
if we experience something
beautiful does it shape how we live our lives
does it change how we look at life
 or treasure it?

or is it just a moment of lost breath..
