Of Happiness Within

I - applicant for loves generosity Dared to knock on this door Dispelling each known calamity Beseech thee thus to trust and dream again Yet far away, hopes beckoning gleam At journeys end the restoration complete Trembling here - challenging a fate Submitted my trade To an outcome unknown My knock, a whisper My presence betrayed by a thundering heart Hearing the footfall of happiness within

Beautiful! Like whispers that rise from the sand. You'll make it. The world is over-filled with your friends.

One of the very best free verse poems that I've read this year my friend.. *** To an outcome unknown My knock, a whisper My presence betrayed by a thundering heart Hearing the footfall of happiness within*** Solid gold-- a fav for me!

Oh my Jannie some of us wander forever seeking the dream we carry in our hearts. You will find your dream of that I am sure, as soon as you stop looking.

Ah ,there is someone waiting in the wings. You so correctly saw it in one of your earlier comments, I was quite gobsmacked that you knew

Hi Carol and welcome again. Are we risk takers inside? Some folks got it right somehow, why not us. Thanks for your observation. Good luck with your endeavour.
