Sparks
Happiness,
the underestimated spark
of an interest or a comfort,
the faint light
of the stars warming up our eyes
and with that our souls.
For me,
this is
words on a page.
Not only to view,
but to feel and enrobe oneself in.
Their lustrous, languid ways
coating one's mind with familiarity.
Paired with a mug of liquid comfort
and the known security of
a woven work,
they have the potential
to enrich any circumstance-
to transform one of palpable despair
into immeasurable bliss.
To curl into yourself,
delving into the seclusion of another's words
and your own thoughts,
to hide your head from the stressful world
are instances of these rare sparks that can never be dimished.
