Happiness in Simplicity

Thread less sun swimming
in my hair and letting me feel
like everything can go right
and loosening my bonds.

We are all prisoners.
Ignorance is our jailer
but I won’t be ensnared
for I am a bird of a different breed.

Say you’ll love me
and say that you’ve got it
but you don’t, and that’s okay.
I’m here for you anyways always.

Puddles can make the world
seem damp, so, pass them by.
There’s never an excuse to go
so far that smiles become flimsy arrows.

Sit next to me, I’m here.
We need one another so much
more than any sense to fool us.
Verbs are just unexecuted actions.

Rise to meet the clarity.
Let the sun inside your chest
where it can illuminate your soul
and give you perpetual warmth.

Cheer up, and my lamplight
won’t seem so blinding.
No matter how much you lose
I will give it all back with interest.

Find happiness in simplicity.
