Happiness

A simple song

Touches my lips

And my heart is filled

With ease.

I am buoyed up

Like a boat afloat

Or a seagull

Riding the breeze.

Life’s little pleasures

All mixed together

Create a wonderful

Masterpiece.

It won’t last a day

But that’s all okay

Because right now

I’ve found happiness.

About this Poem:

I wrote this poem at a time of pure and simple happiness. I came up with metaphors to describe how I was feeling. Sometimes it’s a mystery as to all the conditions that contribute to making a person happy.
