ripple effect

Bustling, lively moments that no longer occur

plague our ever-changing world.

Solace attempting to be found in isolation

wavers discouragingly.

The need for proper human interaction

lingers on the tongue resembling a fine wine,

waiting to be sipped once more.

A myriad of emotions take place in one day;

loneliness, ennui, frustration.

Glimmers of hope disintegrate quickly

as the media generates another heart-wrenching headline.

Miniscule instances of excitement conjure laughs

that procure the power to dissipate such perplexities.

Contented dispositions discover simple moments

carry more magnitude;

when one remembers

the brilliantly beautiful effects of happiness.
