Simply Marvelous

I collect moments of perfection

But my definition of perfection is not flawless

It is of a natural beauty, in its rawness

Perfect in its imperfection

It is a feeling — a just rightness

A crooked smile that brings a brightness

An unburdening lightness

Unexpected laughter—a color — a tone — a touch

A spoken phrase that expresses something best

That fresh feeling after a good nights rest

The way a bird arranges her nest

The small things that are marvelous

I see the energy in that which I find beautiful

I marvel at the one-of-kind

These are the things I wish to find

And collect them in my mind

An eye twinkle with a genuine grin

A fun and mischievous minor sin

A pun at just the right time

Thinking of just the right rhyme

The rare and captivating

Amber eyes that are radiating

Friendships that bridge the years

Sentimental moments that bring you to tears

These are just some of the moments that come to mind

As I consider the treasures that I find

Life is wonderfully full of marvel

It is this aspect of life to which I am partial
