Is it beautiful

where

you are?

Have you built

a life

that feeds

your soul

and spirit?

Is there music,

and laughter,

and kind 

words?

Is there

time to

exhale and

relax

and just

be?

Is there

great food,

and parties,

and fun?

Is there birdsong, 

and moody clouds, 

and rainy 

duvet days?

Is there

good chocolate,

and great coffee,

and sugar-dusted jelly babies, 

pop tarts,

and kimchi?

Is there 

soft pillows,

and throws,

and lovely 

linen,

and beautiful mugs?

See, I’m

asking

because these

are the things I 

want for you,

only they aren’t 

actually things,

they are 

experiences,

pockets of joy,

to make your heart

sing.
