At this exact second
someone, somewhere
is so elated
they could burst
into dazzling fractals
of every colour
perceivable
Right now
a polar bear
lays it's wearily
weighted head down
on the ice
to never
get back up again
At the same time
a simple soul
is laying in bed
unable to sleep
restlessly but contentedly
writing a poem
curled up
in the small
of their partners back
This very minute
someone sent their
last goodbyes
tied to a loved one
on a burning pyre
sailing swiftly
into the horizon
along with
their own happiness
And at this hour
a whole person
lost a piece of themselves
so largely irreplaceable
that they couldn't
possibly ever
fill that empty hole
except with a
salty sea
of tears
As one sun sets
another one rises
As one dims and wobbles
throwing it's last
lowly tendrils
of dull grainy light,
Another sun is rising
strong and high
shining beams
so piercing,
shards of light
so blinding,
that you couldn't
hope to hide
from it's warm
content embrace
Right this second
someone bellows with laughter
while others weep and bleed
Every single event
imaginable
is happening
right now
So maybe this
second
minute
hour
day
will get better

When I'm taking things for granted I like to remember there's people with a lot less
- it puts things into perspective
And likewise, when I am sad, i like to imagine someone somewhere is having the happiest time of their life
- it makes me feel better knowing the world isn't always a sad place
