That Awesome Feeling of Happiness
It’s when you smell your favorite fragrances
And hear your favorite songs wherever you go
It’s that feeling only memories and moments can muster
Much deeper than contentment,
Something that others can’t initiate
An Intense inner joy
Lifted cheeks and wrinkled eyes,
A crooked smile on careless faces
It’s December.
Seeing snowflakes flaunt their ethereal beauty
And melting at the mention of spring,
It’s the cool breeze of March through May,
Lasting all the way to those summer days,
When we watch sunsets cast golden rays on calming waves
It’s the thrill of our youth
And the satisfaction in our old age
It’s knowing that nothing last forever, even cold November rain
It’s taking the steps to making these moments timeless
It’s love.
Your first kiss,
Your mother’s warmth,
Your father’s protection,
It’s sublimity.
Not aesthetically,
But in possibility
It’s simplicity.
That 9 AM feeling on a Sunday morning with a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and cartoons
Or sitting in traffic, feeling low as ever, and suddenly hearing an old tune
And then you’re dancing
And your windows aren’t tinted
But you’re still singing and dancing
In the middle of traffic
And everyone is staring
But you’re the only one who truly sees
Happiness
