I took up a seat near the window,
hoping to catch some light,
to do some reading.
The open window,
allowed a light breeze in,
which brought something along.
It carried with it,
the fragrance of the wild flowers
on the trees outside.
Distance made the
flowers look modest.
Their beauty and scent
augmenting their smallness.
It wasn’t a very strong scent.
But it succeeded in initiating
a desire in me.
A desire to refashion the whiff to
a continuous feeling.
That was not to be.
It is said that all good things in life
come in tiny packets.
It was true in this case.
If I had my longing satisfied,
maybe I would never have taken
pleasure in the scent
as much as I do today.
A small dose of the good,
with a discontentment -
a want for more,
is the most beautiful feeling,
second to none.
