There was a day when life came to a beating halt.
My heart leaped
when a smile arrived,
ever so gently,
and left me feeling lighter than before.
There’s a softness in his eyes
that makes the world seem less sharp,
less scary.

For the first time in my life,
my heart is no longer on edge.
Somehow,
the air feels easier to breathe.
Ever so often,
life places a quiet kind of magic in your path.
And somehow,
that feels like a beginning.
