Ode to everyday uniqueness

I love the special, the rare, the unique,
But I love more the simple, the ordinary, the everyday.

I love that the sun rises every morning,
And the stars shine bright as the day falls asleep.

I love that the wildflowers bloom so proudly,
Even when no one pays them a slight notice.

I love that the birds sing their own songs,
And the trees whisper in their own language.

I love that the waves never stop crashing on the shore,
And the ocean never sleeps.

I love that the blue sky always carries me away,
While the rainy days keep me grounded.

I love that normal, simple, ordinary uniqueness,
Of each and every day.


(the poem inspired by Aurora Australis
When I came to realize
Everyone was seeking the rare, special Northern Lights
And falling all over for it.
But isn’t it true that
The everyday sunset or sunrise
Or everyday sky is just as special?
