Grace in the moments


I savor small bites of happiness,
leaving some for other days.
Days unfolding with grace,
there are those moments undefined
simple,
the kind that flow through my hands
like running water.
Those are the moments
I remember at 4 o'clock  
in the morning 
when I can't sleep
and you embrace me
in your half sleep
our bodies forming a crescent moon.
The days sometimes escape me,
hours playing hide and seek
but the moments
leave me dazzled and spent.
Glorious they stand on their own
two feet.

  2. You have to love those precious moments. Even those when you know they are not fully awake and still subconsciously they know their love is needed and they give it.

    bites in life..some days do slip away rather quickly this is a reminder to enjoy the moments in the journey.
