Spectacular

Dear Love, what will you have me know today about being spectacular?

Everything is going to be okay, love, because everything is in this moment, you can see the shine in your pen’s ink, the dappled light dancing on the window, the colourful beads shaking through the air, the imperfection in the paint creating beautiful patterns

You know that if there wasn’t any dust on the window glass, you couldn’t see the poetic shadows of the tree leaves flickering in the wind

All of it so ordinary yet so extraordinary

You would like this peace to last forever, this gentleness of spit to carry you moment after moment

And in the same way as the dust on the surface and the cracks in the vase

You might not see the light or the gold if it wasn’t for the darkness of the rest

Spectator of this beautiful, ordinary performance

Life putting on a show for you

It is all performance

We are all playing a part in it

While many of us did not audition for this show

You return to your sensations

Looking for what feels real

Or perhaps less unreal

Reality being what you can imagine

Moment after moment

Making each moment as spectacular and ordinary as you decide them to be
