To see beautiful, it must be experienced with all the senses - it is a fusion of emotions that touch deep into the heart and reveal pictures that need not be seen but must be lived.
Beautiful is the dawn's silence, awakened by the rhythmic beating of hearts echoing the footsteps of their past. Beautiful is the clear, crisp air, drifting softly between towers of steel that stand like giant spectators applauding in the wind. Beautiful are the lofty oaks, releasing crimson petals like raindrops from the sky. Beautiful is the rippling water as it runs swiftly along your side. Beautiful is the energizing strength of a sound when it is shaped into music, or a supporting cheer. Beautiful are the eyes of the young and the old, for they aspire as one. Beautiful are the memories of those we run for. Beautiful is the child waiting patiently for a loved one to run by, and Beautiful is the hero that person becomes with a simple kiss blown in the breeze. Beautiful is a bond between friends - made inseparable through the miles. Beautiful are the tears...of frustration, of joy, of accomplishment. Beautiful are the emotions of one last long mile, lined with stunning faces of people who will never have names. Beautiful is that final stride and the stories that will now be told - all of which proclaim, "I have seen Beautiful."
