Some days the smallest of moments comfort us:
acorns fallen by a leaf,
an infant's bare toes curling tight with no socks,
a kitten stretching her neck to be scratched,
that brisk, fresh, first breeze of fall,
the dogs romping in the back yard,
an old man, napping, his white beard soft,
a promise for tomorrow.
For now, all is right in the world,
perhaps not all right,
but we have these moments yet
to comfort us.
