on new year’s eve
i was reminded
that life
is at least half full
and often at the brim.
—
“life’s enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.”
-lord byron
how sweet to find this book
sitting outside on the window ledge of a downtown store
on a sunny saturday
just waiting for someone
to pick it up and take it home to read.
gratitude to the book fairies.
