Taking Happiness By the Hand

This summer was sunsets and skipping rocks. I took my own happiness by the hand There was midnight adventures after the club, with my best friends Slinky black dress, and a touch of pink on my cheeks Illuminated by the lights on the street Lil wayne Blaring from the stereo I took off the stilleto heels and just walked in my bare feet The cool night air was delicious Hitting my skin like butterfly kisses We were the rulers of the night UNTOUCHABLE to Woe There was August rain Solitary runs through my secret garden I passed through the bridge over the river I never worried about a thing. My feet hit the wet sidewalk, Like Godzilla in Japan, I was all mighty and Powerful There was quiet mornings, I drank coffee and let my paint brush explore the vastness of canvas page I tried to capture the essence of the night sky Each stroke was therapeutic, and I left all painful memories of the past behind This summer was sunsets and skipping rocks. I took my own happiness by the hand
