Smooth ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #331

Smooth gravel
Through sparse country
Makes me happy

Magic is a child
This unknown girl
Who casts upon
My weary soul

Unfettered glee
The guileless love
Which is delight
In briefest moment

Such sweet respite
From adult cares
Her master class
In living well

This perfect valley
In the perfect light
With the perfect clouds
Make a perfect moment

This perfect is mine
Not the valley’s
Not the light’s
Not the clouds’

I remind myself
True happiness
Is found in finding
The perfect in everything

The wind licks spray
From endless breakers
Entering the bay

The clouds
A battery of waves
Roll across the sky

I lose myself
In the rumbling hiss
Of wind and white water

Taste the salty air
On my lips
Breathing deeply

I saw your smile
He said
I wanted to meet
The man with such a smile
Said the stranger
Asking for a selfie of us

Sun descends
On varnished sea
I will rest here
Happily
And watch the world
In faithful turn
End the day
Resplendently

I am truly happy
Only when seeking
The wonder of existence
Even the smallest
Only when feeding my awe
In which I become
Infinite

A gentle road
Through the backcountry
Of unexplored territory
Brings me tranquility
And inexpressible pleasure

In a city of
Greys and dust
And muted blues
A young smile
Comes to me

“Take my picture”
She says
Then stands there
Happy and poised
In vivid red

An endless sea to my left
Mountains rising
Into the sky on my right

A yellow stripe
And smooth asphalt
Winding along
The rocky shore between
