Good Days
like a pearl-colored cloud,
or like scrambled eggs
whipped to perfection
with butter and cream.
I feel joy everywhere,
even in the tiny crevices
ugly feelings try
so hard to hide in.
There's a sun inside of me,
always,
but some days it's overcast
and rains for too long. Today
is different, though.
Light and life are one, and
the sky and the earth
divine and bewitching once more.
