I tried one day to bounce it
but flat on the ground it lay
that happy-sac of heart
filled with present, past.

I threw it in the air,
tried to bounce it on my thighs
but it flew across the floor
to lie flat as once before.

No juggler I to keep in air
the remnants of my past
or the inanimate object
of the present at my feet
but when my happy–sac
is filled with loving thoughts,
it bounces to the moon
and looks back down at you.

And my hands are empty
as they have always been
precisely because …
there’s no man on the moon
to pick up my happy-sac
and throw it back to me.

Up there on the moon;
look closely and you’ll see
a worn and weathered happy-sac
despondent and quite blue
from always looking down
at one place on the ground.

Poor little happy-sac
but it’s got company
for a closer look will show
love travels every day
and only comes back
when it intends to stay!

If you've ever tried bouncing a round seed filled sac from thigh to thigh, you'll appreciate how difficult it is to keep it in the air.

Is that what keeps it happy.

I took this for images not physical.

It sounded like me writing things I get told off for on the site.

Liked it

Hi Dave - Just my interpretation of the physical. All things physical (because that's where I am) are a point of reference from which to go beyond.
