beautiful little things

my eyes that change color with feeling.

my cactus that has flowers blooming.

my mom who often took the place of my friends.

the bunnies in the field.

the bunch of wildflowers i collected.

my face flushed from dancing.

my dad buried in sand on my 21st birthday.

cookies fresh from the oven.

the terribly frosted cake i made for my sister.

that day i drove myself 8 hours to a new city.

flying 14 hours to a new country.

being a place where no one knew who i was.

knowing no one knew where i was.

yellow aspen trees in the fall.

a beach.

pottery made with careful hands.

my best friend when she laughed so hard she cried.

the love shared at concerts.

the wind whispering in my ear.

climbing a mountain early in the morning.

silent train rides through various cities.

the crisp smell of morning.

the sound of quiet nature.

roars in the bustling cities.

a person's smile when it reaches their eyes.

him singing to himself.

the undeniable beauty of a rainbow next to the moon.
