A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:
dew drips from a leaf
a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on
it will soon be transformed
into a majestic pollinator
its climbs to a branch on a small tree
there, it starts making a cocoon
somehow it knows just what to do
it settles in wrapping itself up
it stays in there for weeks
then one day
it emerges
little does the creature know
that he's now changed into
something very different

The last thing that brought a smile to my lips was a school hallway interaction. A girl who I'd never seen passed me, and gave me the biggest smile. It quite literally felt like sunlight seeping to my core.
Sometimes driving makes me wonder
Sitting in a big tin box, travelling faster than a hare
Until I reach traffic and crawl along slower than a tortoise
We spend so, so much time
Moving from one place to another
Chamomile tea on a winter's day is
Comforting as a warm hug
Soothing as ointment on chapped skin
Steaming like the lazy trail of smoke from a chimney
Wonderful like a homemade thank you card
