Choices In Life

There are choices in life -
arbitrary comforts or a hope
capable of anything.
Pretending to live or be
happy with everything ahead.

Happy

"Happy" isn't what she hoped it would be,
love is a mystery - 
desire a depth haunted by
inevitable imperfections.

Secret Of Peace

This morning I feel oddly happy.
The secret of peace:
it is unnecessary to have
a problem.
The rain is lovely
and I will read novels
life seems so meanderingly pleasant.
I do nothing
and will be joyful.

Bed Of Freedom

It was the first decision she had made
to determine the course
of her life.
Here and now, on a quiet
bed of freedom
she felt so free, so happy.
This is up to me.

Wilder

She looked wilder
out in the water and sky.
She was unexpectedly happy at that
particular moment.
She could not describe it.
How perfect
is the earth.

Rat Race

Is anyone happy?
They are living in blind optimism
with the ugly rat race,
desperate suburbanites who
never could quite understand
beauty or love.
