Each night the sky paints
a different illustration
as the sun meets the horizon.
No two sunsets will ever
produce the same version
of blended hues.
Every fresh snowfall
individual snowflakes
gently glide to the world.
Intricate lace
separates each sparkling flake
in a spectacular display.
Extraordinary gardens
arrange countless flowers
that grow at their own pace.
Treasures mingle
upon the soft earth
their aromas and blooms unique.
Eager caterpillars
spend beginning days
preparing to become a butterfly.
A silk cocoon hides
the radical change
into an eccentric entity.
Enticing beaches
host grains of sand
individual in their form.
Mixed specks
create a smooth mesh
of remarkable contrast.
Evanescent ticking
of seconds pass
in a steady melody.
This moment in time
will never occur again
each minute a small miracle.
The world boasts countless wonders
rare and awe inspiring.
The world created you
another exceptional gift
deserving of this life as you are.

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
