small things

the world
will surprise you.
small things mostly.
the blue
bird on the sill.
the handwritten note
from a loved one
almost
lost.
there are days when
the sun
and clouds are magical
together.
when the moon is a moon
first seen
as a child
from
his bed, gazing out
the window
not far from sleep.
the world will surprise
you
with the kiss of a fall
breeze.
the smell of grass
freshly cut,
cinnamon,
coffee, the touch of her
hand
upon your shoulder.
