Day 4


It’s 9:19 and there is still an inkling of daylight
 That in itself deserves a poem

That and all the other little things
that make this life worth living
Like the generous glass of blushing rosé
keeping me company this evening
Finding the perfect Buddha for my meditation corner
on sale
The smell of tomato plants
lingering outside my window
The promise of fresh produce
Crunchy Dill Pickles
Finding the perfect shade of lipstick

Getting kumquats
in your Easter Basket
Being able to take a weekend off
mid-summer
Finding your rhythm

The way sparkling water
dances on your tongue
Waking up before the alarm and knowing
you have the choice to keep on sleeping
The smell of hidcote pink lavender

A pack of new sharpies
The way snapdragons pop open
their little mouths
The perfection of
crawling in between clean sheets
Fresh basil
on anything

Handwritten letters
Hearing your favorite song on the radio
Unexpected laughter
                Knowing that this list will never be complete
                Knowing that my happiness is wrapped up in a myriad
of regular moments
