simple things in life

she told me of simple things that I could barely comprehend, because my mind had made them complex.
she told me that a song has meaning behind the music notes, and I listen instead of just hearing it.
that the wind every now and then can be heard whispering, and I stood still to listen while I stop the turbulence inside.
she made me look at a rainbow in a different way, to look for the color within the colors and find a meaning to them. And for the first time I saw that to every storm there after was a wonderful sky.
she looked into my eyes and told me to smile, to live life, to travel to places, to love with all my heart, to say no regrets only adventures that did not turn to my liking. She looked into my eyes, and there it was love.

Today

While my mind wonders on tomorrow, my hands write of what happens today. Today blessings of wisdom, of greetings, of many thanks, of a multitude of smiles and an I love you, filled a moment in time. Yes today, like everyday I thought of what will happen tomorrow sometimes letting today slide away, preoccupations with no basis. Today, I ate in a rush, I said good bye without looking behind. As time went by my thoughts revealed of what I needed to do tonight. As time progressed I remember to write down today is today and when I stop the clock I saw children played, I saw a world that I had forgotten to see, I saw the world through my heart, colored by my emotions, listen to every laugh around and inside, I stop hearing the mundane chatter outside. There it was crystal clear today with all it glorious gifts waiting for me.
