a defined happiness

the essence of being happy

A mood, a thought or innocence

It’s difficult to begin to define

Stepping into the flavor of the abode

Light breeze caressed my face

Right across the window I sat

A cashew tree swayed gentler and even slower

Clicked, something just built right inside of me

A yellow leaf fell slowly and quietly

Scattered, circled and circled

I couldn't define

The feeling that overpowered,

Positively smug I smiled

Clouds gathered around the ether

Purple hue colored by the strokes of lightening

Languid breeze whispered

Carried away by the impulse of bliss

I rushed out

Silver drops hit my face, the first rain shower

A tranquility settled in an unsettling heart

The trail of signs I followed wildly

To the brink of cloud nine

I wondered, I began to define

Reasoning, intelligence, wisdom

Let you be fine

Experiencing a falling leaf

Let you be aware!

 

Author's Note

the instant feeling of happiness when u just stand in the rain or catch a growing rainbow or watch the night sky, that's what is called being happy, being lively...

Yes, I love that feeling of going out into a rain when the summer is warm and lightning strikes! I wrote a poem about it too. http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Insomnius/960170/
