fire

ever see listen watch
read or say one little thing
that warms your heart
so that both sides of your
mouth instantly curl up
parting your two lips
to expose all 32 teeth
and maybe tongue too if you
happen to giggle or have a
heartfelt laugh escape ?

ever have that feeling
where one thing will keep
you smiling every single day
will make you forget about the
millions of pages of literature
that needs to be read and analyzed
it will help you forget about the ailing
the poverty
the abuse
the torture
the lies
the negativity in the world?

that one tiny second out of your
entire day comes to define your attitude
give reason to your joyful chipper
nature and keeps you at odds with
even the craziest fools ?

how about that instance where you
know the person who provided that
moment, had no intention of changing
your entire 24hour existence. they simply
were doing a kind gesture. and
through their innocence and thoughtfulness
i smile, with a burning sensation starting
in my heart and spreading all over

a daily low of 25degrees wouldnt even affect this
internal fire i have burning.


well i just had that moment.

and im not letting it go :)
