Notes About The Poem

Happiness

Is not
	                      none


non existent 
then a big bang
an accident
I was toppled by a wheelchair
eyes blinded
vision blurred
accident are like that
one cant walk
one cant see
pain though
seeps 
into child's darkness
creeping along
lingering days
nightmarish nights
we grow
pain grows
screams, yes
the silence begins
slowly

over there
	             over there
			                             Christmas lights


carols

everything is upside down

	                        when you have a brother

who is always close

HAPPINESS

Paul Callus December 19, 2018 at 4:05 AM Happiness, even momentarily, comes from sharing....that is what 'brothers' are for! ~ May Christmas bring joy to you! Regards // paul
