It is simply
Simple the simplest
Of things those
Tiny moments that
Second that so
So slowly ticks
By the easiest
Of things the
Smallest of sounds
The pleasurable sigh
The hiccup on
A busy day
The chagrin the
Teeny tidbit the
Thing thought insignificant
These things are
The things that
I remember most
Amongst all the
Creatures the galaxies
The planets the
People amongst the
Eons the chances
That we’d meet
Is small the
Likelihood that we’d
Like each other
Is smaller the
Idea that we’d
Kiss tinier still
This idea that
We’d love each
Other is so
Rare that by
Happenstance it shouldn’t
Happen so what
Are we we’re
The difference that
Only life makes
Purely simply divine
To me laughter
Is the sounds
Of angels a
Giggle a guffaw
A belly laugh
A smile these
Are the sweet
Sounds of Heaven
Come tell me
A funny anecdote
Share with me
A secret and
Let us bathe
Together in paradise
Sometimes in life
We fight so
Hard against what
We fear that
We miss any
Enjoyment there instead
Turn and face
Your fears because
They’re only in
Your mind and
Not in the
World quiet your
Fears by facing
Them knowing that
Everyone else is
Afraid of you
The joy of
Friendship is often
Felt yet rarely
Seen it arrive
Quickly like snowdrops
Popping through April
Snow shades like
Oaks on hot
July afternoons leaps
Like October leaves
And blankets like
January snow and
Through these all
The roots continues
To spread assuring
That not even
Typhoons can topple
What we are
