raindrops on roses -
rain on a warm day.
old books in a library.
acing that one test.
them saying ‘i love you’ back.
a kitten purring in your lap.
freshly shaven legs in cool sheets.
that first taste of fall.
snow days.
waking up and realizing it’s the weekend.
being around people you love.
getting a compliment.
making somebody laugh.
forehead kisses.
happy tears.
that one moment in that one song.
rewatching your favorite movie.
just being inexplicably happy.
i woke
incredibly early
in attempts to
catch you in your
rawest form.
one morning -
preferably on a
saturday or sunday -
wake up really early.
do it alone.
it’s okay if you
miss the sunrise.
it happens. i’ve done it.
but take the time to
yourself. do what you want.
take a walk.
read the Bible.
go on a swim.
pray out loud.
be with yourself.
it’s amazing, what you can
learn about your soul and spirit.
i was taught
very young
to never judge a
person by how
they look.
why has it become
so hard for
everyone to follow
this simple rule?
aren’t we
all beautiful?
there is something os
crisp and clear about
the image that comes
into my mind
every time your voice
shuffles through my
earbuds.
