I Heart

I heart this moment—
to reflect on the taste of
popcorn and almonds,
to delight in the beauty
of gray skies,
the flickering light of a candle,
the sound of music…
I heart this journey
of long nights,
longer daylights,
for the serenity found in creativity,
for the joy and comfort
of yellow daisies.
I heart the benefit of a peace of mind.
