Full measures
The cups flowing over
As the balance tips
Into despair
But a little bit of joy
Goes the longest way
The small expectations realised
The unexpected arrival
That knocks on your door
And leaves
The gentle reminder
Of moments that live
In your heart
The grace and beauty
Transient and perfect
The smiles and laughter
The harmony of being
In a world imperfect
The flaws, those blemishes
That emphasise the light
In every masterpiece
The contours on every mountain
That challenge in every climb
The peace in a storm
As we breathe
In universes of transition
Ephemeral and flawed
Of being completely
Human
