The Stars Could be Aligned
Even the falling ones
You might find me
In the assurance
Of a tangerine sunrise
Welcoming light and
New beginnings
❀
Some people discover me
Amidst a blanket, a good book
And their favourite mug
Full of hot chocolate and
Liquid relaxation
❀
People often overlook me
In their ruthless search
For happiness
So caught up in
The extreme feelings
(Fireworks beneath
Their skin) that
They forget how comforting
The simple emotions are
(Walking into an airconned room
On a hot summers day)
❀
You might find me
In the tight embrace of
A family member
Or the silent smile in
A loved one’s eyes
❀
I am that warm feeling
On the left side of your chest
That kind that makes you wonder
If even the falling stars
Are aligned with the
Permanent ones
❀
Some people spend
Their whole life
Forgetting to take
The time for me but
Most people experience me
In the little moments
The ones they don’t notice
Until they’re gone
❀
I am fleeting because
Almost everyone lets me be
❀
I am contentment
❀❀❀❀❀
