Moments of joy
are harder to find these days.
But I’m learning to find them
in small, unexpected places.
Like in rays of sunlight
that are the perfect temperature.
Or in the way a gentle breeze
dances through my hair,
tickling my neck.
Sometimes it’s there
hiding in the quiet
of midday crickets
and fluffy white clouds
that slowly float by,
with no other care.
The harder to find,
the greater the reward.
I just need to look
in small, unexpected places.
