the smallest leaf
can hold a tiny drop of dew
that will catch the sun
and lighten it's world.
a single bird can soar
on the faintest breeze
calling our eyes
upwards to the clouds
a child can laugh
with the glee of innocence
and we can relive
the simplest joy
life is full of precious moments
if we can pause long enough to see them.
sometimes in our headlong rush onwards
we miss the journey's songs.
