art of joy finding

it is an art to find joy 
when the world feels dark,
weighing down narrow shoulders 

an art that like any other 
improves with practice 

how do we train the eye to seek out beauty, pockets of happiness
in the ordinary? 

To look for the sparrow nibbling at biscuits 
the green parrot flocks that shoot across the sky 
the song on the radio
that should be taught in school 
more than math or science or even literature
