Happiness is loving what we need.

Sharing poems & thoughts, one redacted word at a time.

Happiness is loving what we need.

My life force is a dreary November night. The rain against the panes my candle nearly burnt out, the glimmer infusing life into me. People did not understand I was borne into the darkness of the night.

It is a rare form of happiness. The beach empty, footprints in the sand, the night and the sea.

Love. It was the missing element.

An abstract poem. a rejection. I pick the most promising themes. No ready-made novel, no dense story. Cut off in a self-induced vacuum I could be myself.

You are an empty shell without values.

Nature did remove my grief, and tranquilized my mind. The woods and clouds bade me peace. I resolve to remember the effect, the sublime ecstasy to the soul, the light and joy of nature.

I rose lazily on a crisp February morning, the snow shimmering brightly in wintry white.

I hear mother warn me I would be an old maid. Well, perhaps my need of solitude is all I look for in this life.

She began to discover life wasn't too short: laughter and love were the answer.
