Happy

Merriam-Webster puts it like this:
1 : favored by luck or fortune : fortunate (a happy coincidence)
2 : notably fitting, effective, or well adapted : felicitous (a happy choice)
3 a : enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment (is the happiest person I know) (a happy childhood) b : expressing, reflecting, or suggestive of happiness (a happy ending) c : glad, pleased (I'm happy to meet you) d : having or marked by an atmosphere of good fellowship : friendly (a happy office)


But me?. . .well my somewhat improperly formatted definition goes like this:
1 : music in the creating, playing, and listening (happy composing)
2 : mountains, rivers, trees, ocean, sand, earth (nature is happiness)
3 a : risk (happy to love) b : advancement (happy to fight the Good fight) c : persevering, pressing on, staying the course (happily believing that "we are the music makers and the dreamers of dreams" --A.W.E.O or, if you prefer, Willy Wonka) c : a state of contentment in sunshine and storm (happily "walking on sunshine" and "singing in the rain") d : positive perspective (happy to have this fantastic kind of view)

And that's only the beginning of my list
And, happily, I can see no end. . .

Relical Remnant

There is Something ironic about walking the High-Wire
when a willing stair case stands just to my left
Something uncanny about beholding a solitary Flower
when gardens countless burn for attention just to my right

There is only One.

There ever remain jagged words and whispers spoken
without knowing they were heard
ever the dagger that seeks to tear the heart
without looking to See

There is only One.

. . .and He in His Armor and I in my silence. . .

Whatever the watchful Waters bring, however they twist
Oh though they turn!
Watchful on the wall in the night, warriors fierce and ready
Oh though they wait!

. . .and He in His Armor and I in mine. . .

Running to See Love dripping and pouring forth from the Horizon
Oh to Hear The Voice!
Running to See Daybreak recalling the kinetically vibrant Purpose
Oh to Know The Face!

. . .and He in His Armor and I in The Fight. . .

There is Something Beautiful about the exiting injustice
when the scales become balanced and bright
Something Wonderful about heavy Humility
when pain holds no splendor amidst the Benefit of Cost

There is only One.

There ever remain mysterious paths to carve and travel
without fully comprehending The Dream
Ever a mapless wonder to Life and forward-motion
without prodding the question why

There is only One.

One High-Wire - One Flower
Love and Voice and Face
Daybreak and Purpose
One Beautiful - One Wonderful
Humility and Benefit and Cost
Dream and Life

There is only One.

Voices Preparing

I'm:
not impressed by the technology of the time
macs, pc's, phones, cameras

I'm:
not captivated with this societies conversation
sarcasm, wit, cleverness, negativity


Not to Nothing
Nothing to Void

emptiness found thirsting
fill in the gaps and bind up what is broken

I'm:
impressed by the Light of all time
yesterday, today, always, shining

I'm:
captivated with this Flames conversation
life, growth, reality, encouraging

All to Everything
Everything to One

Fullness found brimming
open up the mind and throw down the barrier
