I am Happy Now
what is happiness after all i
am not hungry
i have a bed to sleep in share
my life with someone i love
...and
loves me
i have challenging work that
is important to me
a few people i call friends
when i look out across the mesa moody dark blue mountains
circle the valley ancient
old companions
symbols of peace
incredible clear blue
new
mexico sky
filled with cloud abstractions 360 degrees
takes my breath away
a more enchanted place i
do not know
if i keep watch coyote
lopes through my yard
hawk eagle or crow fills
the air with acrobatics
finch jay flicker come
to the feeder
my life is full i
am happy now

I adore this poem, Annell. Yes, there is much to be happy about and grateful for, with the mesa, the blue hills, the coyote loping past, the hawks..........this is a poem full of blessings. Loved it. I know someone who is smiling as he reads these words.
The words of the poem were excellent and are a reminder to all of us of the wonderful world all around us. However I must confess I was not happy about the form as that gave my poor brain extra work to do!
