The small things,
Turning the pages of a book,
The inspiration of a sunset as seen from a high rise,
Surprise visits and a forehead kiss,
My heart warms at the melted muscle memory of this.
The fleeting things,
Snow days and sleeping in,
Milky, sugar frosted cereal, and cartoons,
The soft whisperings of the radio, and the deep rumblings of the news.
I am nothing more than the solace I find in silence.
The everlasting things,
Butterflies born on the lips of a smile,
Cackling laughter carried on the wind,
The twinkle in your eye as you gaze upon someone you love.
These are the few things, the favored fragments of life where my soul resides.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
