Strangely Intimate Moments

Life is full of strangely intimate moments 

And when I capture them 

I find myself smiling 

and feeling lighter 

despite the many storms

Because isn’t it beautiful when 

you glance at a stranger 

while you are reading a page from your favorite book 

Or when you brush your teeth by the sink 

after a wild night out and wonder how this will go 

How about when you are laughing so hard it aches 

at 2 am while still trying to find your way home 

when you witness love in its early stages 

from afar or right there in the in-between 

and then there’s the fact 

that you then stumbled onto a random happenstance 

and find yourself wondering if this is a mirage 

or a forever-type of stance 

life’s little moments 

make me appreciate what’s within 

because we are all human 

and humanness, a curse 

is also one of our greatest deeds.
