Happiness 6-4
finding the gold;
finishing the statue;
thunder at dawn.
finding the gold;
finishing the statue;
thunder at dawn.
opening the parasol;
the rustle of long skirts;
stopping at Phoenician trading centers.
wild deliciousness;
scudding along the river;
holding her heart in your hands.
sand painting;
stomping on grapes;
spreading your wings.
conversation;
absentmindedly rubbing two sticks together and discovering fire;
the softest socks.

experiencing the light;
shedding an old skin;
standing firm.
coffee on the hotel terrace;
the doorway framed with lilacs;
baby’s breath.
sipping dew;
looking out from inside a prism;
fields of wild tulips.
a blue leaf on blue stone;
heading home from the fields;
showered by meteors.
a silver lining;
reading all afternoon while it rains;
climbing out the window onto the branch of an oak.
a story in wood;
being a kite on a windy day;
shipwrecked on Treasure Island.
the rain lifting:
sleeping on a rug of dandelions;
finding a tiny paper boat to sail down the river.
serenity;
climbing through the skylight;
painting yourself out of a corner.
flamingoes at sunset;
gently spreading open your petals to the sun;
a shiny hammer and lots of nails.
a light in the window;
finding the cage door unlocked and walking out;
strong arms to hug you.
two ways to go;
stringing stars in a spring sky;
forsythia bursting into yellow light.
planting;
cracking the egg from the inside;
joining the procession.
the tide coming in;
the color between indigo and violet;
stopping by his house on a cold spring evening
staying alert;
flowering dogwood in moonlight;
the moment just after you leap.
the potential in all things;
a frog talking to you on your pillow;
pushing aside a massive boulder.
at the highest point:
making the princess laugh;
a brave encounter.
leaving in a balloon;
tickling the chin of a purring tiger;
a solemn occasion.
