Happiness

It bursts out,
Not from behind or front-
But from everywhere.
It is a pure form of energy
Like the furnace breaks
The ice of winter,
Like a flame’s glow
Fills up the darkness.
It is the thrill,
Of a bird’s first flight-
Looking downwards
From the tip of the sky.
It is the energy
Of chaotic strokes of harmonic colours
On the canvas.
It is the smiley face of the sun
In a child’s imagination
Untouched by the ‘real’ world.
The infectious giggle that breaks
The tense silences,
Between people who never knew better.

"A moment gone by

will never come back."

But

Happiness

Marks you forever.
