A glimpse

I live for a glimpse

A painting

Or stunning work of art

A breathtaking sunset

Or a beautiful shooting star

The sights of the city lights

The sight of lightning and the sounds when the thunder drums

The beats of the pattering rain, gathering in puddles, a rhythmic strum

The bright colors on those crisp fall days

Or the way the snow sits as it freshly lays

How the clouds reflect on a lake that is serene

Or the way children's eyes look, curious and oddly keen.

To most these moments go unfavored and frequently unseen

But these moments create my world, to me they make my life worth living
