reward

...

only because you have
created so many
moments of beauty
are you capable of
experiencing such
beauty now

for this sense of beauty
is your reward

not one you expected,
or worked for,
or even considered possible
and yet one which is
yours

...

only because you have
created so many
moments of beauty
are you capable of
experiencing such
beauty now

for this sense of beauty
these self-wording thoughts
these unwordable sentences
this emotional response to
your surroundings
this awareness of
this pleasure at
this energy from
this joy
is your reward

not one you expected,
or worked for,
or even considered possible
and yet one which is
yours
