The Little Things

So, now i cast my stones into the sea and i sit.

I watch as the rings they place upon its surface fade away into thoughts of ripples depleted and forgotten with time until i wonder if there ever really was a ripple at all.

I'm left with the reflection of us and those happy memories and beautiful images captured forever in my mind.

I smile.

       I laugh...

                  And i dance

I smile to spite my ache

I sing to the world to let it know that beauty can exist beyond what it can see and touch.

And i dance so that my feet have something to do amongst the cacophy of noise that real life brings.

Im afraid of what will happen if i stop this frenzied dance.

 So let the music play and let the children chatter. 

Let the sunlight break through the tall trees, fractilated into a million littles rays shining in its way.

Impossible to contain.

Just like us.
