These Joyful Things

POETRY | JOY

A Poetic Collage

wind chimes and mud puddles
the lonesome howl of a wolf
birds chirping and babies cooing
your laughter peeling through the house
silvery moon-rises and colorful sunsets
grass tickling my bare feet
a cat’s purr and a dog’s wagging tail
fine food cooked with loving care
an orchestra and the opera
a ballerina floating on air
British dry humour and your quick wit
a spider weaving its web
the silence of a forest and the ocean’s breath
a cherished memory brought to mind
your scent and soft skin
our hearts beating as one
