“Happiness,” New Era, July 2006, 49
Happiness
Happiness would be …
pinks and yellows,
swirled with white,
flecked with gold.
Happiness would be …
radiant,
bursting beams
streaking across the sky.
Happiness would be …
warm,
comforting,
like a blanket on a winter’s day.
Happiness would be …
sweet
rolling off your tongue,
satisfying.
Happiness would be …
the scent of flowers,
ten thousand gardens full,
fresh and overflowing with life.
Happiness would be …
indescribable,
unexplainable,
perfect.
