Joyful Science
Hands upon skin, taking you in,
The flutter of fingertips lightly,
A songbird plays a gentle song
To soothe deep within.
Memories replayed of past days
The good and bad commingled.
Woman, the master of manipulation,
So subtle, she makes it an art.

There’s something comforting in the smell
of old books.
A cacophony of life surrounding,
and Yet
In one small breath, an upturned
book on one’s lap,
an instant transportation to a
New and wondrous land.
Alone or with companions, always
a grand adventure to be had.
In Celebrations, great and small,
equal joys to be found
in all the infinite tragedies.
There’s no story that could be told
unworthy of such a worship
found in the simple pleasure
of a quiet day.
