Prompt: Write a love letter to a small joy.
Easily overlooked and quickly dismissed,
Swept away by busyness
And missed by eyes glued to the horizon.
A piece of smooth sea glass
on a vast beach of monotony
Waiting for an appreciative discoverer.
Taking on many forms,
Offering opportunities to refresh the soul,
Inviting me to be still.
You’re gentle and quietly exciting.
An ember of warmth that lifts my mouth into a smile,
A leap of joy in my chest.
I find you in the changing of seasons,
In the touch of my son’s downy head.
A bubble floating from a balcony,
The ocean breeze flipping my hair,
The waves crashing rhythmically against the beach
As my gaze is drawn to the horizon,
Wondering if there are small joys, too, on the opposite shore.
