Brilliance...

it's not just for diamonds and pearls,
it's not just the essence of
brilliant minds,
movie stars,
star athletes,
or writers that shine.

Brilliance comes even
within the dull.

And you ask,
"How can that be?"

So I challenge you...
examine the whole of Life,
the infinite diversity that exists,
all the variety which stares at you
each and every day.

Now, tell me
which parts of LIFE
are not brilliant?

this does indeed shine...thanks for the reminder of who's truly in charge.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

I think once we have come full circle is the most brilliant of all.  
It's really quite simple, like your poem.
I mean I really, really liked your poem, Kacy~
