Happiness 12-18
just before the party;
lost in a snowball;
fairies alighting on your arms.
just before the party;
lost in a snowball;
fairies alighting on your arms.
the flame in the fountain;
rescued by dolphins;
going places.
light on it;
visiting the snow queen;
shattering the wine glasses in the fireplace.
seeing things as they really are;
the sacred cauldron;
only home-made gifts.
lifting up boulders;
jade plants meandering;
wholly satisfied.
a plethora of spices;
burrowing deeper underground;
breaking the mold.
knowing where to go;
the touch of a wand;
beauty descended.
humbleness;
the lyre plucked;
snowy reflections in shop windows.
woken by the cardinal;
accepting the robe and scepter;
a sea of crystals.
the wheel stilled;
dawn after calamity;
watching over your sheep.
still waiting;
running with wolves;
vanishing with the light of day.
secrets hidden in the string beans;
all the signs pointing clearly;
paper, scissors, glue, and sparkles.
wisdom of pigs;
swathed in rose petals;
seated on a gold throne.
very plump carrots;
slipping on the glass slippers;
water finding its own level.
moonlight on succulence;
the cat speaking;
the amazingness of feet.
rain over Catalina;
saying it from the mountaintop;
how dragonflies move through the air.
talking with tumbled rocks;
leaping from tall building to tall building;
a moment of surrender.
a friendly dawn;
light as a feather;
the oldest advent calendar.
escaping:
kissing on the sidewalk;
being lighthearted.
the stories in old bits of beach glass;
swathed in chiffon;
five zebras thundering across.
sleepy kangaroo;
knowing you belong;
painting yourself out of a corner.
what was behind the gate;
hope;
finding a needle in a haystack.
