The cold upon my hands is it still there or has it traveled to my heart

The quiver on my lips is it caused by the world or by him

Does art matter beyond the eye or will it stay forever in our minds

When we are deemed useless is it easy to overcome or can it stay with us forever

Scared I’m close to only one side existing. Weakness is impatient with me. Strength barely recognized.
Yet
I still see beauty. It’s in flowers, rocks, trees, clouds, water, prairie, mountains, oceans and sand.
And
I’ve witnessed love.
Awesome format to this one!
