Happiness
I know these petals unless pressed
in your own life’s book will not survive
and even then as a shadow of love’s shape
or unless adrift in your river’s endless flow
come to outline any eddy worth circling
and even then could gutter off a bank or
regret’s cold stone where air
tears at life’s evaporating edge
or unless emblazoned with wing
of robes softly opening to heat and
even then burn only as a blindfolded
assurance of need, need:
or unless left alone a becoming
drifts around it, swirls it down just so
like snow a mile up lands finely
at the foot of the sky

outstanding!
Thank you–
Jeff, I’m even happier that you found my blog today, now that I am reading your wonderful writing. I look forward to future encounters.
Thanks! I apparently have 387 days to catch up on.
You have all the time you need.
