Today is Celebration of Life - a day when the ordinary is finally lauded.
Real beauty, like the iridescent neck of the common pigeon, is often unrecorded.
True beauty, though, doesn't need recognition. It exists - and that's recognition enough.
🐦✨
Feathers gracing ledge
Wings neat, furled and unhurried
Iridescent neck
🐦✨
Feet stride past, no glance
It pecks the ground, still unmoved
Head quietly bobs.
🐦✨
Bert sees its true form
Beauteous and unrecognized
Quietly dances.
