At Peace with Happiness - A Poets Philosophy

It can only ever be a day in the life of Happiness

as we pursue and yearn to conquer this evasive and frivolous game.

I consider that it rests in the smiles and seat of quiet confident trust;

in knowing that we have been blessed with the gift of being loved, having loved and learning to

know what or who love is.....

The eternally sure Agape and a drop of Eros.

Trust and love are intertwined, forming an inseparable partnership.

Not necessarily something we always feel but a consciousness of being held and carried by unseen

 hands that are readily stretched towards us.

I've touched the face of happiness, if happiness indeed be what I feel and believe I know.

In this journey of loss and love I have found myself.

I am at peace -

an offspring of the inseparable union;

It holds me even when I am anxious or  pained.

My smiles and laughter are glossed and gleaned with peace.

If this bubbly spring of core contentment  be happiness, then I am it.

Perhaps I have trumped the recipe of peace in praise and prayer  -

Perhaps ......

Perhaps happiness will be back to tease what I think I feel and know -

Does this mean that I feel confident always

That I've completed my call

Accomplished my tasks and have all I need? -

Indeed not.

Still,

I smile a smile of

quiet

confident

trust.
