DISCOVERY

Become what you are.
A mistletoe at Christmas sparkling a kiss.
A cloud floating by on a summer’s blue sky
A kiss from a child all giggly and warm
An arm from a stranger, sturdy and worn
In life there is much discovery.
Heartfelt hugs
Whispers of love
Touches of caring
Crinkles of kindness
Sand swept mounds of altruism
In the minor cacophony of anger
Is an ocean of joy.
Touch it, touch the earth,
Feel dirt bounce under bare feet,
Sunshine on summer sundresses
Visors protecting smiles and wrinkled eyes,
Gleaming, the world is one at peace.
