Happyness Sadness

Happyness

What is happiness ? - Is it all those little,
bright crystal – rainbow moments, solidified.
Is it ?, when one is at one with the universe, 
at one with the world, one’s own world, ones self.

Is happiness ?, those few or many times in one’s life
when there is no need for spoken or written word.
Is happiness ?, found in others, in another or from within
one’s own heart, one’s own soul, one’s own spirit

that may be brought forth, brought to life by others
as you walk together – for a moment – upon the same path. 
Is happiness ?, observed and expressed by the heart,
the inner eye- something the ears may hear, but never see.

Sadness

Sadness, pain, heartache – unlike happiness – need words,
not to express the obvious, but to be a catharsis for the soul. 
Lyrics, poetry, prose, setting free, giving wing so they may fly,
may grieve, let go, achieve what we look for, need – HAPPYNESS !
