She is easily found in the little things,
In dewdrops glistening in the first ray of light,
As sparrows sing their happy melodies,
In the chorus of the morning's gentle recite.
She lives within each day awakening,
In rainfall's soft, percussive song,
And in countless fleeting moments
That proved remarkable all along.
She lingers in winter's misty breath,
Rising softly through the morning chill,
And in autumn's amber warmth,
As leaves whirl and dance at the wind’s will.
You’ll find her in the sunset,
In a bittersweet encore that soars,
And in content hearts that quietly know
She will visit them once more.
I've learned to never cage her spirit,
Nor beg with her to remain,
But to welcome her like the sunrise
When joy chooses to brighten my day.

I was inspired to write this poem this morning as I stood outside in the chilly English air and I quietly listened to the bird song for a few moments. I exhaled, I smiled and found myself content with everything around me.
It is remarkable what little things can bring us joy.
I hope that this poem brings you a little bit of joy too. 🙂
