Life Is Sweet

Life is sweet,
humming to
a pretty tune
I’ve always known somehow

The notes I hear
the instruments,
the sounds they make
have not yet been invented here

Life is sweet,
colouring
my days with 
harmony within me

Frequencies
of green and blue, 
pink and yellow
cannot describe how I feel

Pinks and yellows
cannot describe
how happy I feel

I love your style with each word carrying significance. Some joyful things cannot be fully explained, close, but not fully. You captured that in this poem! In these difficult times, remembrance that life is indeed sweet is important and healing!!!

Dear Janny, I love the repeating lines in this well-crafted poem. And yes, "harmony within me" ... I could relate.
