       Happiness for free

Just beyond the hard-edge
world of dusty, grasping strife,
sunbeams and shadows
mingle in the soft, dewy
depths of fallen blossoms
to spiral dance with a
wandering willow-wind.

Along this lovely forest stream
of immaculate calm and
   infinite joy,
Spring is gently whispering...
"happiness for free!"

            --- b. e. adams (5/6/2009)

Wow, dear Bruce, I am so happy that you posted this refined sparkling gem now that you have reached 3000 posts! And I am deeply moved by your kindness of dedicating it to me. Thank you so much.

Again congratulations for your wonderful 3000 posts, poems and comments, they are always combined beauty and wisdom.

We can only wish that people do enjoy "this happiness for free" that Mother Nature offers us with such abundance.

I do love your work and hope you will continue to share it.

Love and joy.

Margherita
