That moment when

the world seems fine,

and loneliness exists only

in the distant past.

Late evening,

A cold cup of water in hand.

The iconic water cooler moment,

Frozen in time.

Laughter is joy,

Joy equates laughter,

Friendship means acceptance,

Acceptance brings joy.

Like a picture,

A moment,

A memento

Brings meaning.

A life with meaning is joy.

Those late nights.

Those late nights,

with friends,

And music,

and water cooler moments.

Bring simple joy.
