Analysis of Beauty Embraces me



The smell of flowers filled the air,
and the grass was cut so neat,
The sun was tucked behind the clouds with care,
above the empty street

The trees were swaying just under the sun,
and the birds chirped with glee,
That's when I knew the world had a ton,
of beauty embracing me.
