Happiness
Happiness is all in the seeking
For some it is a settlement
For others wanderlust
Then there are the people watchers
Ambulance chasers
Some live lives in absorbed observations
Describing works of art
Like erudite wine tasters
As the artist reads his emotive expressions
From the words of critics sleeve laughing
And painting on blithely
Doing while others watch
Like a busy stone mason who
Occasionally drives by his
Old work in quiet satisfaction
A glimpse of happiness
From a road others built
