In The Details

In The Details

We each are the parent
of our experiences.
Heaven is in hidden
among the details of your day.
The things you most want out of life
have been following you around
for years tugging at your shirttails
like a child whispering happily
'Daddy look! I'm here!'

Joy is the day you finally stop for a hug.

Bliss is realizing that all through
the long years, your spirit has been stopping
again and again carefully gathering
hugs, and smiles, and laughter, and long talks
without you ever knowing.

One day you look and there it is
traveling right beside you,
all around you and in your memories too;
Fifty years of stored up heaven,
light as a single, brightly colored feather
and as vast as all the vivid world .

Dewey Dirks
