Happiness

Wrote this one as part of a post on my other blog: My World, Your World, One World

Happiness
is a bud on the outer reaches of a branch
waiting in the crepuscular light at dawn
for the ray of sun rising
anticipating its time to unfurl
feel its warmth
hear the geese arrow high above.

Happiness
is joy felt by the puppy
hearing his littermate
wake from nighttime sleep
ready to roll, tumbling
yipping yapping together.

Happiness is.
