Essential

Elusive

Indescribable

as subtle as a nightingale's piping

heard on a moonlit night

or a still and heavy summer's day

lightened by rosy perfume

borne on a welcome breath of breeze -

your beloved's touch;

gentle, knowing and sure.

Happiness

Delight

Joy

Ethereal; sometimes fleeting,

it is as necessary as the air we breathe.

Take it where it falls.

Hold onto each moment.

Make a memory.

Savor it.

Share.
