The Intricate Key

She looked at the sky tonight
And realized that sometimes life isn't about
Things that are a million light years away

Sometimes it is about taking that next breath of air
And how a person sighs
Sometimes it is in the wind
That unfurls a single strand of hair
gently emerging from conformity

sometimes life is about a whole sky
And not one round center piece
All lit up

Sometimes we engage in something truly beautiful
And the world pauses
To hear our joy

It is the sound of forgiveness
And many hearts extending
