Blissful Moments

Every morning I awake to a silent breeze

Creeping through the window,

Where I see the sun rise from the east

There’s happiness in the simple things I thought

If we look hard enough, and dare to live free

There’s a tree that stands boldly outside

And salutes me cheerfully

Everyday, with a sprinkling of leaves

There’s happiness in the simple things I thought

If we look hard enough, and dare to live free

A daily stroll is my time for me

It is when I greet me

And see how things are going, beneath the debris

There’s happiness in the simple things I thought

If we look hard enough, and dare to live free

A child cried with laughter

Playing in a puddle not deep

As I wandered through the park, where others roam free

There’s happiness in the simple things I thought

If we look hard enough, and dare to live free

In my wanderlust there is a familiar stranger

That I cross paths with daily

She smiles always, without intent or need  

There’s happiness in the simple things I thought

If we look hard enough, and dare to live free

To imagine- all this,

While the rest of today,

And life too, has yet to unfold.

In a turn of fortunes and a stroke of luck, I have finally noted

Blissful moments are infinite

If we just choose, to look for them
