Little Things

I notice things
little things
insignificant and irrelevent
a wisp of mist
a mote of dust
your wry smile
a white mare and brown stallion
standing side by side
heads lovingly nuzzling.

The little things
of no cosmic importance
no earth shaking worth
when perception is unclouded
self-absorption held at bay
a woman's knees
a grey factory door ajar
an old man's wrinkled neck
the dimple in a child's cheek.

I always notice you
camped in my heart
stoking my fires
then think…

perhaps some things are not
so little after all.
