Caught slipping through creases

"Easy, medium, hard."

inscribed with beauty 

in all its modes, 

like art--

the littlest things hold 

a many emotions

we watch them unfold

gathering the notion

beauty is imperfection

Most unauthorized to be so bold

A moment shined in hues

symbolizing everescent "happiness" yellow, 

yet not exempt from blue

variety is which we are due

The most authentic thing

it resides in me and you

Beauty in the little things

a moment shared

or a voluntary dare

a flake of time

found special, but rare

a look carrying thoughts

finer than the hair

made most valued

just because they were there

what is held as treasure

can be all the fragile

all the while, something so small

can be lost in the mix of it all

at times we stumble,

we fall

In drops this fragment in time

we may drop the ball

but mere moments arrive

another gaze into their eyes

irrelevant to the unknowing 

uneeding of reason or why's

There's power in the small

In the brief, the miniscule

I'll take it all

for I can always appreciate

the beauty in the little things

unbound by rule

by levels of difficulty

by the ability to be misunderstood

overlooking all that is good

all we are is a series of little things

patched up messily with Elmer's glue

kind of how a kid rushes to finish a project

day before it's due

imperfect in it's beauty

but confident

let each moment small or big

fragile or tough

easy or hard

slip between the creases

it has all the reason

to be caught, held up like a prize

admired by willful eyes

lacking all but guise

unvailing its truth outwardly

One beautiful little moment

at a time.
