One Delight
The misspoken words
Lie, but
The faithful intentions
Act like consolations
If soothing and
Given a room
For not misreading
The heard echoes.
Waking up
In the aftermath
Of trouble,
What freshens up the mood?
A glance in the soul, and
Exchanging personalities,
Bonding sights and whole
An outlook of wishful fortune.
The entering morning sunshine
The inviting window,
The view,
Whichever season.
The piano music,
The pleasure of one delight
In the name of uncountable stars.
