Explaining Happiness - Oct. 24, 2024

Gary Hunter

air is cool  breathless

a soft sun glows in the east

morning awakens

 

yoga is effortless

I watch the day’s first dove drink

from a glistening waterfall

 

my joy has been up for awhile

cleaning the kitchen  watering plants 

stepping outside to watch the sun rise

 

maybe it was yesterday’s poem

or the excellent deep sleep

our sick dog feels much better

 

happiness is hard to explain

 

like why one peach from my tree is always

sweeter than all the rest

 

or one day the stranger I quietly pass

suddenly smiles and says Hi

 

or that time I sang in the

shower and one verse

gave me goosebumps
