My Happiness and Me.
As I sat there by the river’s side
making paper boats and sending
them sailing down the tide.
I could sense some magic something special
hard to explain…
Take me home…I said
to the last paper boat I’ve made
and sent it sailing on its way.
I watched it go until it disappeared,
down the murky waters of the Yarra River.
I closed my eyes, and rested my head
on the soft green clover as my bed
It felt so peaceful…my mind was taken
I looked inside me…the boat was waiting
I jumped on board and on went sailing.
I saw a light so deep inside
all crumpled up and,into one side
It looked familiar
so I neared my boat and picked it up…
I held it close with fear.
I’m HAPPINESS it said
surrounding me in a warm embrace
I know…I whispered…
afraid to frighten it away.
It’s been a while…
I finally said as I ever so gently
blew off the dust from its pretty face
Would you …. stay?
I live here it said
pointing to my chest
within you its my dwelling place
We stayed together all of that day .
and for ever… since
My Happiness and Me….

And yes shadow I did write it…I have the odd moment of inspiration from time to time…specially
on the days I walk to work…To keep a good pace and not feel the pain…I’m always rushing lol.
I keep my mind occupied …thinking…and making up stories and playing with words.
