It blooms deep within, in the heart it is born,
Like the yawn of a flower at the first light of dawn, The fluttering heartbeat of a 2 week old pup, It flitters and titters through the belly, and up, Climbing a ladder with bells swapped for rungs, A song starts to sing at the top of the lungs, It spreads through the body, both lower and higher, The feel of fresh socks that have warmed by a fire, A mug of hot chocolate between ten frozen fingers, It flows all throughout, and the warmth of it lingers, The rush of a racer who’s running to win, The pounding of water massaging the skin, A submission to ceasing, of hitting the hay, The caress of a pillow at the end of a day, The cue to switch off, let the mind free to roam, The scent of roast dinner as a welcome back home, It builds as a buzzing, the wings of a swarm, The sweep of a rainbow at the end of a storm, The taste of fresh water on parched lips and tongue, The swing of a hammock between the trees that it’s hung, It’s the meeting of friends, an excuse to rejoice, The birth of a laugh, not yet found its voice, The sound of a joke, that’s read in a book, It’s catching a glimpse and of sharing a look, The twinkle of knowing on the edge of the eye, A crinkle of crows, whose feet lie nearby, The impact of dimples that crater the cheeks, A language that everywhere everyone speaks, The curving of lips, stretched up, out and wide, Expose a flash of white pearls, once hidden inside.
