Small Doses of Happiness

I stand in the dewy grass, blades tickling my feet
inhaling deeply; the morning air fills my lungs
Birds sing the song of Spring
Their tranquil chirping soothing the chattering in my brain
The sun peeks above the horizon 
A surge of fire; it’s rays long arms reaching across the mosaic 
of pinks and oranges
intermingling with the blue canvas of the sky
The bright celestial glides higher,
I lift my head to meet it’s brilliant gaze
 its warmth caressing my face
Tinging my cheeks with rosy blush
I close my eyes, relishing the serenity
The pure bliss of this small moment
A brief instant of peace that could easily be overlooked
The grass, the sun, the birds 
imploring 
To stop
To pause
To really see….to see in a way that makes us feel
