Unmitigated Happiness

Unmitigated Happiness

A Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)
"

It's of moments of happiness without bounds

"
 
When all the stars align

It was palpable, the happiness
That radiated from her face
One that almost glowed
And as her demeanor showed
That she was in 
a most precious place

Eager her stride
Her smiling eyes
Her patent pride
Gave obvious rise
That the lucky lad
Who walked by her side
Was the apple of her eyes

We’re blessed  far too few times 
With happiness without bound
It seems to be 
The domain you see
Of youth…and of love 
…newly found…

Tis bittersweet the knowing
That lovely glowing
T’was ne’er meant to last
But will still morph
Into a misty warm memory
Sequestered  in an old ladies past

Times of happiness 
sublime 
when all the stars 
…align…
