Need for something is like
a hungry bird on your shoulder.
It does not want for anything
~ only a few grains to eat,
while I sit here wanting
the furniture to be different.
Need for something is also
sunshine on my face,
wind in my hair,
sharing beauty, voice and kindness
I will not die or turn green without
those simple things, but my insides
will shrivel until I become that hungry bird.
“Here’s to the moment when you realize
the simple things are wonderful and enough.”
~ Jill Badonsky, The Awe-manac: A Daily Dose of Wonder
