Patch of Delight

My arms are expansive
lifting out of the binds
of that stress and fear
clench no more.
I breathe in the free air
no longer stagnant, enclosed
released from the glass;
those holes in the cover
never enough
to allow life to continue.
It seems so easy now —
what weeks and days and hours
confined my mind in circles
now out and said
over in moments.
Said and Forgiven.

Day 6/6

Patches of Delight is a way to capture the joy I felt in reading Ross Gay’s Book of Delights. I would like to have my own project of finding the magic of every day, so I write tiny poems about little moments that made me happy each day. The goal is not the poem, it is noticing the moment I might otherwise have missed.

As part of my “notice joy” attempt, I will add once story that made me smile, laugh, or whatever, to this list and then chuck it on the end of this project. Today I focus on Ruby Noir’s great article about adopting a dog later in life. Honestly, there are good pointers for adopting at any age. If I ever needed advice on an animal, I’d totally go to Ruby.
