A walk in Central Park,
Leaves dancing in the wind.
On the bridge —
A couple holding hands,
Bundled in winter gear.
Ground coffee beans aroma.
In a cafe —
Someone alone,
reading a book.
Girls at the bar,
Drinking a beer.
The elderly stroll,
Hunched over a pole.
Moments of change,
Embrace fear.
Rushing to the subway,
No faces the same.
Black, yellow, brown,
White, tan, red.
Orange, bronze, mix,
Freckled.
Patchy.
Hyper-pigmented.
Almost like,
Fall leaves in the wind.
The sun reflection
On the ocean
Or skyrises.
Community.
Support.
A child’s eyes.
A sibling’s soul.
A best friend’s hug.
A parent’s heart.
A stranger’s vulnerability.
Or a helping hand.
The beauty is beyond sight.
Look harder,
You might.
