"Cosmo"

A minute's moment
Gives a world of perspective,
And an aroma mild
Says I shall live.

My world slows down
Surroundings run a race,
The feeling lingers
And I come back to base.

A second passes
And then two, three,
My mind is filled with memories
And I feel revived, free.

A sip of caffeine
Transports me to that feeling,
Feeling of belonging
And instinctly makes me sing.

The tunes on the radio
Called out my name,
And after days of being a stranger
I now felt the same.

Gathering myself
I quickly drew a smile white,
It felt like a skill new
Like learning to fly a kite.

I always understood
The power of a happy breeze,
But I only learnt today
That it's the effect of it I sieze.

So I soaked it in
The happiness that is,
And snatched my four-leaf clover
From ME, the pessimist.

I then stood still
Wide-eyed, brightly lit,
To cherish the instant
That healed better than it bit.
