Small Pleasures

She walks into the frame carrying two beer kegs —
not rushing, not posing, just enjoying the weight of the moment.
The scene is outside, in the summer garden of a small restaurant,
where everything feels a little slower and a little kinder.

She sits down, pours herself a beer,
and the foam rises like it knows it’s part of the ritual.
She lifts the glass, gives a cheerful toast to no one in particular,
and takes a sip that looks like pure relief.

 

 

Then comes the skewer — simple food, simple joy.
She eats with the kind of appetite that only appears
when the day has been long but good enough to deserve a reward.

And the best part is the smile.
Soft, real, unforced.
The kind of smile that says:
“Yes. This is enough. This is good.”

Sometimes happiness looks exactly like this —
a cold beer, warm food, summer air,
and a moment that belongs only to you.
