A Brief Intermission

Scratching my head,

And rubbing my eyes.

I rub and I rub.

I scratch in wonderment.

Like I always wonder,

About your smile.

I imagine the

Happiness it

Brings to those in

Your aura at this

Very moment.

As I keep rubbing

My eyes, I begin to

See stars.

I push harder and

Get lost in the

Universe with you.

But I must continue

My day. My eyes

Adjust, and I am grateful

For the

Brief Intermission.
