On a Day Like Today
A sunlit sky
backed up an infinite pool
of pure blue beauty
with strips of cloud
fluffed out
to lie in it.
Overlooking the horizon
were wavy lines
that changed their course
with every whisper
that the wind
blew out.
The vicinity lined up
with greenery that
contained the beauty
that this
one day
had to offer.
The sun shone
like a diamond
high up in the sky
sending out light
that pierced through
the depths of my heart.
Reminding me that
perfect isn’t farfetched
that perfect isn’t
a long-lost dream
undeniably nonexistent —
it exists in these tiny moments.
In these tiny moments of absolute bliss
that make you realize
that fancy anything cannot buy you perfection
that nothing can replace
the purity that
a single moment has to give you.
And when you have them
line up
one after the other
coalescing, syncing, just falling into place,
you’ll see what I saw —
beauty, in its literal sense.
You can’t quantify what it does to you
you can’t justify it,
you can’t label it,
you can’t bring it back —
because right there,
right then- you lived
not just the life you see on screens
but the life you were born to see.
