10 Most Beautiful Things I Have Ever Experienced
Shayn Nicely
the night sky; knowing that everything underneath it
is everything from which I have ever
felt seperated
the uncanny vector of significance
that is street lamps, parking lots, solitude,
and 4am
petting my sister's head laying in my lap
laughing gas
stealing wildflowers off of private property;
the terror of leaving a letter before you get caught;
it's called live-action love poetry
wandering through rain storms, climbing as close
to the sky as you can, intersections of space and time that seem
to DEMAND god and fate are conciousness
late-night tv
bonding
the safety of knowing
there is at least one doorstep left
magic, simple as openings in traffic
or having
exact change
acceptance of impermanence, even just transition,
finally allows you to stop fighting the forces of nature and merge,
which has only truly settled on me in times I thought I was about to
die (in case you're wondering; 2)
