Delight

A bit of parchment in the old and damp

Dingy desk

Delights the poet.

A bit of pavement underneath the tried and true

Tire tread 

Transports this reliable bicycle.

A bit of peace in this borrowed breath

Brings boundless

Bliss to this bitter battle.

A bit of presence in this moody and mundane

Mucked-up modern life

Moves the heart to gratitude.

A bit of pride in the eyes of a 

Lovely lover

Lights the heart-fire of life-delight.

-The Poet of Windy Blue

This poem is a reflection of appreciation for the little things in life. After all it’s the little things that make up our entire life. Brief moments that add up to a lifetime. This life can be hard. Very hard. So, it is important to find the small things that bring us joy. That bring us peace. We need these things to prevent us from falling into patterns of bitterness or despair. How will you find some peace today?
