the promise of more

it's the small wonders

that

we adore.

the rise

of light against the pale

blue

of night.

the flower

wet

in the garden after

rain.

the bark

of a dog, the cry of a child

in a mother's arms.

the sound

of thunder,

the touch of a hand

against

your brow.

a kiss upon the lips

with the promise

of more.
