Day #144 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Somewhere Close

I almost didn't stop long enough
to read the poet's words—

too busy too busy gotta get it done,
the mind a wild swirl of grumbling, 
worries, complaints, 

but then, there they were, the words 
that brought me back, sang me awake, 
sprinkled sunshine in my hair—

words that said something about happiness 
waiting under a leaf, 
always somewhere close.

Thank you, poets, 
for bringing me back. 

How much more happiness there would be if 
I stepped away from the swirl, 
trusted that it is always, always 
somewhere close.
