APRIL THE SEVENTH

The fine afternoon of April the Seventh,

Happiness came rapping on my door, 

So loud it reverberated the empty home inside me,

Along with it, it brought a kind of joy I’d never felt before,

A sense of calmness I’d been seeking all my life

Love came crashing through walls,

And through boundaries and mountains and oceans,

It came from a quarter of a world away,

And it amazes me how it didn’t get lost on the way,

Like it knew exactly where to find me,

I greeted it like I’d been waiting for it forever,

I welcomed it and I stood still,

As it swept through me, into me, engulfing me in its warmth and kindness,

I got down to work,

To save its essence, to cherish it, to have faith in it,

To hold on to it in a way that would make it feel free,

And as it roamed around exploring the house within me,

I could only hope, 

That I could make it feel home enough for it to stay.
