the simple pleasures are often the best
wearing a baggy sweater, soft to the touch
and drinking a glass of wine
or a warm mug of tea
gazing out the window of a small nook
your own little corner of the universe
unperturbed
by the comings and goings beyond
for once
instead of being stuck in the storm
you're from the outside
looking in
and you can finally appreciate
just how beautiful
it all is
