gratitude for celebrations

gratitude: celebrations (of birth, of holidays, of dreams realized, of crossing thresholds, of deciding to keep going, of aliveness in all its shades and frequencies), a simple poem ♡

we splash through puddles and put on funny hats
we laugh, we ascend, we descend, we collapse
into the bed after a day where the lights vibrated
faster and brighter than we'd ever experienced;
sealed with a kiss, wrapped softly and lavishly
in a future cherished memory, we dream sweetly.
