Moments of Joy

 

Demarcations across time

Like a raindrop immortalized, perfectly round, glistening

Staring back at me as I ponder its form

An orb of emotion suspended in infinite space

Waiting for the time when I will realize its true meaning

Glistening silently

 

And appearing one by one

Drop by drop

Memory begins to serve

Each raindrop of joy reappearing

Expanding space within me

A sparkling constellation against the night sky

A map to where I will go, expanding from past to future

 

So unassuming

Just raindrops

Small, cute, tiny

I cherish them more than anything in existence

The memory of a smile in one, a calm exhale in another

The significance of such tiny things incomprehensibly huge

Bearing within them the meaning of life
