Drowning In Happiness (for Vivien)
Drip…
Drip…
Drip…
Splash…
A bubbling brook?
No…
It’s a raging sea washing over me.
Have I gone mad?
Yes, raging mad…but
I never felt so very happy.
Never felt I could feel so free.
Now is beautiful. The future is beautiful.
The past is gone but I’m still me.
I’m not a flea, just a speck of dust.
Just let me be and we shall see.
The world, the city, the house, the car,
The universe so near yet far.
How can I be so truly blessed?
What have I done to deserve this test?
I’m drowning here in the deep blue sea.
Happiness envelopes me.
It fills the void down deep inside.
Expanding vistas, once passed by.
Spilling waves across the page,
Can’t hold them back, they roll away.
Memories fly and I can’t decide.
Back inside, I cannot hide.
The current flows all over me
I’m happier now than I should ever be.
Drowning here in a sea of glee,
I’m taking chances merrily, so…
I’ll laugh till I cry as the tide rips by.
Fleeting moments never last this long.
I'll keep on swimming till the daylight’s gone.
Passing the hours with this joyful song.
"Today was the best day of my life...tomorrow will be better"
