And We Wait

Press your palms against your eyes hard enough
The bright blue beams obscuring your vision
Little lilies and lavenders will blossom from the depths of darkness

Happiness is woven between paisleys and daisies
Meandering between beige to blue to bicoloured blossoms
Maneuvering through fields of wildflowers
Intangible
Invisible

And we wait.

Happiness is sprinkled into veins of fallen beech leaves
Who will return, just as strong, come summer
It sprouts from bright buds along with dainty greens
Intangible
Invisible

And we wait.

Happiness is in unrelenting tears
Freed from their excruciating cage
Soon enough, it bubbles into the air in clouds of laughter
Intangible
Invisible

Why wait any longer?

Happiness is hidden in desires and whispers and honesties
That are held back only by choice
We could slide into the shadows of never
Or we could initiate what we know is the key to find it

Perhaps the choice of "supposed to" is clear
Well, if only courage would visit more often
Yet consider, perhaps the truth is that we've been blocking it out
​Nevertheless

Which path to choose?
