Jannie Breedt Poet Free verse

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

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