Little Rays Of Sunshine

Sometimes, it's the little things that matter most..

Even though I feel sad at times

Even though it feels nothing can be put right

I think of the things which make me happy 

Wait.. Are there such things?

Or people?

Who can make me feel the perhaps 'out of this world' feeling

I dunno about people 

But there are certain things which do

Like the first winter' sun

Like the rainbow colours after a stormy rain

Like a hot cup of coffee during my times of distress

Nothing like it

Ever felt

And this makes me forget 

The little everyday stresses which come my way

And I know I can get through 

Every thick and thin of the mess I create

Or you can say that people aren't your source of daily happiness and comfort. You are your own best friend. And you seek comfort in taking care of yourself cause there's nothing like reading your favorite book in december with a cup of coffee. Nicely presented 🍻

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Probably yes.. People are not my cup of tea ;)
Thank you for the nice reviewing of 'me' in this piece :p
Really appreciate it :)

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Sometimes we must endure and then just let it all go... Slowly and steady winning this fight

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm learning that as the time passes...

[Jibey]

It's good to enjoy whatever stirs the heart and mind... I love the robin in my garden, and cockles and laverbread!

I love the touch of some people, too...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I've recently come to appreciate these things more..
Thank you for the lovely comment, Jibey! Appreciate it ☺

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

A very relatable piece!
I liked how you described little things which we might think of as insignificant but even actually they are our saviours!
Nice work.
Enjoyed reading it.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Exactly yes! All our lives we chase people thinking they are the ones providing us comfort but only to be deluded.. Better keep interest in these little things to move on ;)
Thank you so much, Jyoti! Your words mean alot to me :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Indeed.
You are very welcome.
Happy to review! :)

Just think of that first winter sun, a rainbow after a sun, or that comforting feel of a mug in your hands, and feel all the other souls sharing those moments and reflections with you. Even at our most vulnerable, when nothing seems to fit and no one seems to hear or see us, there is a whole sea of souls sharing those moments with us at any given time.
Hoping for more rainbows, brightly lit days and warming cups of coffee to come your way.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes exactly! Thank you for the nice wishes, Nemo! This means a lot... I wish the same for you ☺

[Lorry]

You are very welcome and thank you too :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Welcome 😊

I needed to read something like this so very bad! I am going through tough times at the moment and I feel as though nothing can ever put a smile on my face or get my heart going again. Thus, this poem really resonated with me and I related so well to it. Thanks for posting an excellent piece of work and for conveying something which actually does happen in real life - the question of whether there are still things that can make you happy even when you are very broken. Good job!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I agree.. We are so immersed in the bad things that happen to us that we don't give a second thought to the little good things in our life.. I'm glad it resonated with you.. Thank you for liking this piece ☺

Even when the road is rough there is much to be grateful for...small graces.
lovely write. Starz x

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Absolutely! Thank you for your insight here! Truly appreciate it ☺

[YanZeros]

Of course you can! when you feeling sad just remember that there are more good reason/s to cheer you up. Sending you positive vibration! :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well yes.. But sometimes even those reasons reason with us that they aren't the reason of our happiness.. Did this sound crazy? Sorry.. Thank you for the kind words and positive vibes!! It means a lot ☺

[YanZeros]

you're welcome! :)

[The dark story]

Solitude is the bliss sometimes. Offers tranquility to the mind and ephemeral amnesia to the wounds of time.
I like the simplicity of your poem, expressing feelings genuinely with no embellishments.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I agree.. If we could only have amnesia though... Thank you, Atiba! It means a lot ☺

[The dark story]

It's a pleasure :)

[elfthereal]

A very straightforward poem, that carries personality, however so, sometimes simplifying or reducing words, can create imagination to those things that you feel lack of, write more, and suddenly you realise less can be more. keep it up

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I agree! Thank you for taking the time to review this piece☺
