On Seeking Happiness

What is happiness? But that
which fills our hearts with joy and
sorrow in the sharing of life's reflections.
Under a see-you canopy of stars, Does not love
rest below silken skies, upon petals of softness, touching,
surrounding two, in a gentle myst to sweetly scent that of each morn?

Is happiness not only when
the light breaks into our hearts
to shine treasures of gold throughout
our day, But also when the indigo of night
blankets us in darkness, masking our dreams
in the wishes of real? Or might not it be happiness in real
scenting our dreams, singing to us in the silence of the night?

It is there for you,
it dwells in your heart,
dances in your thoughts,
covering your naked fears,
tenderly waiting for you to break free
from that which harnesses you from fulfillment.

~Wynter

beautiful freeflowing words that comfortably wrap themselves around the reader. I especially love the phrase "see-you canopy". Being a night owl, I also like the contrast here between light and dark. Very well done.

Charisma- thank you so much for all your responses

SEA-  a friend and poet convinced me to read THE PROPHET by  Kahlil Gibran, I bought it  but you can read on line...(cheaper that way) and  after reading it and  reading my friends poem On Sadness, elsewhere, these thoughts came to mind..only I couldn't form that properly until I decided on steps. Just in a creative soft mood today. {{huggzz}} to you both.

I thought the line breaks made this all the more beautiful.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""
