Bubble of Light

~~ Bubble of Light ~~

Late afternoon.  The morning sunshine

pouring through these windows is long gone.

A confusing disappointment has left me empty, 

I am riding out the ending of the day ’til it is past.

And then. One tiny ball of light began to gently dance 

upon the carpet. Rays glancing off a neighbor’s window

seeping through the leaves to drop in on me a while?

It came and went, popped about a bit and brought a smile
for there is usually no sun in this room around this hour.
Still, there it was. An errant bubble bursting in and out

and in again until I got the message of its little light.

For even in the gloom the light of joy is present. Even

when we forget - are not aware - Love’s Presence

enfolds us and sometimes in the background of

an ordinary day, sometimes with a tiny nudge

brings a smile bursting to remind us to be

Joyful
