Like a slowly budding seed , seeking the suns warm caress from its devilish grave of a nest,
A smile crosses my face, stealing slowly from peripheral to peripheral
My thoughts wander.....
An acute sense of euphoria envelops my every move and threatens to make my smile even more radiant
The bus rumbles to a stop and i exit
Rays of sunlight shimmer and twirl with a reflection of rainbows off of the new fallen snow
The icy grip of the cold has no affect on me as the warmth of my heart melts the icy exterior.
My pace gets faster as the thought of what lies ahead brings.
The fountain still not frozen shoots a fine layer of mist against my bare cheeks
the winter birds sing gaily as they forage for an easy meal
I take all of this in with barely a glimpse as i walk even faster.
I nod my head in salutations to other passerby's as they head to their own destination
As i near my own, i slowly progress to a halt as ...........
!!!!!**** I snap back to reality ******!!!!!!!!!!
the cold and unforgiving rain beats savagely against my temple that my hood fails to protect
My pace is brisk and purposeful
I need to get somewhere warm
but the search must go on....
Thunder peals loudly as lighting races past in brilliant arcs in the sky
I search for what needs to be found
It is not lost
It is not misplaced
It is mistaken
As i continue my search a quote comes to mind simple but with a deep meaning:
" You must love and have faith"
*********
I smile just as brightly as the smile being returned to me
A smile is worth more than a thousand jewels the smile tells me
Than yours must be worth its weight in gold i retort....
