Jars On Display

fresh, so fresh and crisp
the concentration of it can
be caught up in a jar and
sold in stores with large displays
praising its beneficial effects.

clean and new
not cutting or sharp
like a brisk, cold november morn
but definitely catching attention.

lightly surrounding, enveloping
around—softly coaxing, brushing—
barely grazing
like fingertips on a soft cheek.

bubbling with clarity
a sense of renewal, rebirth—
spreading its wings wide,
reaching beyond boundaries.

penetrating even the darkest cavern
delivering a gentle ray of light,
uplifting—bringing peace and a
welcomed bustle of activity.

arrival is temporary, not lasting
but effects felt everlasting
quiet, calm—a behind the scenes
player without which the
show could not go on.
