Happiness

Happiness is a cup of tea

Steeped to bitter perfection
 

It is humming along to a favorite melody

Slightly off key (as usual)


Happiness is a sad smile

Shared with an old friend
 

It is playing a brand new board game

Trying to make sense of that 60-page rule book
 

It is re-reading your favorite book

for the thousandth time
 

Happiness is lying in a field

Staring at the sky
 

It is walking through the streets

on a warm breezy night

Hearing the clamor of the bars and parties
 

Happiness is simply taking a break

to notice the wonders of the world

  • Sunset

    Walking through the college greens 

    On a warm night


    Some random song stuck in my head

    Playing on repeat once again


    Smelling the new flowers blooming 

    In the garden near my favorite picnic table

  • After the rain

    Humid air drifts through the streets

    Carrying the scent of damp leaves

     

    The birds sing songs of joy 

    While gathering food for their young


    Flowers begin to sprout among the grass and moss
