That One Thing

I know that sometimes, what I write isn't necessarily poetry but my definition of poetry includes expressing one's feelings and this is how I feel. Not always as poetic as a person may think poetry to be. 

The joy in doing that one thing

Where you forget everything else

Any tests, any problems, any stress

In losing yourself to something that is not harmful to you

Yet is still your drug

Something that you are positively addicted to
Think of the power in that one thing

That one thing that you would give almost anything to never stop

For one, that one thing may be taking pictures of early blooming flowers in cool mornings

Or speaking to huge, enthusiastic crowds

Or dancing to your favorite song

Or even simply reading a book

But in the end

It is

That one thing

That is our motivation

To just keep on going

To go to sleep at night to wake up to a brilliant sunrise

To keep on working everyday for seven straight hours

Or to just take another step forward

That one thing

That fuels us under the sun and lets us rest beneath the moon

That one thing

Making our day and keeping a smile on our face

Even on the gloomiest days

That one thing

Makes such a difference
