Every moment
Is more precious
Than a shining jewel
The play of afternoon sunlight
On high tide water
The gathering of birds
Perched atop a weather vane
The embrace of a loved one
After a shared struggle
The multi-coloured setting of the sun
Over silhouettes of winter trees
Steam rising
From a freshly made cup of tea
The swelling of hearts and dropping of tears
In recognition of a shared emotional experience
This world is full of more beauty
Than I could ever put into words
All that is required
Is surrender to one’s senses
A willingness to see all things
With wonder
The courage to open one’s heart
To the workings of the universe
