Journey's songs

the smallest leaf

can hold a tiny drop of dew

that will catch the sun

and lighten it's world.

a single bird can soar

on the faintest breeze

calling our eyes

upwards to the clouds

a child can laugh

with the glee of innocence

and we can relive

the simplest joy

life is full of precious moments

if we can pause long enough to see them.

sometimes in our headlong rush onwards

we miss the journey's songs.
