Random Joy

Resembling sunlight, falling dappled to the ground
Through the thick leaves of summer shielding trees
Small drops of happiness land upon you

By way of a stranger's smile
Distant laughter
The melody of a song from times almost forgotten
The antics of animals
Encounters with smiling babies
Or the scent of roses
Perhaps the taste of a newly baked cookie
Kept warm on an afternoon walk

Minor things that pass through your life on a daily basis
Points of brightness unexpected and soon forgotten
Are forever caught within your soul
Soon to be paid forward
