Admiring Greed

You're the moment of humor that punctuates grief,
A desperate dive for a whole-hearted laugh.
I experience sentience' truest relief,
Cleaving together knowing this, too, shall pass.

I am stranded in the dark night, alone.
You are a careless dance in a snowstorm,
A moment of sanity so far from home.
Life's wild and windy 'til you make it warm.

You gave me a moment, and that's all I need
To fall into th'abyss of admiring greed.
