Maybe Happiness Is

A catchy tune. You hear it sung in snatches on the street corners of your life. And very soon on the street corners of other lives it starts to sing. In you.

never underestimate Happiness
said the old man softly.

it turns you into
a small Sun.

(that kind of Giving Power
and Lack of Need)

it is the

Uninterrupted Shining

it is the

Unintentioned Warm

that touches a faraway face
floods grateful darkness
with silvered light.

in this world you are sometimes
that Sun

(sometimes this Moon)
