Happiness

Happiness is weightless and floats up like an ember
Through the dust clouds, I remember
Feeling like a drop in a stream down to an ocean

Fighting fading to a ghost, but

Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door

The mind can be a whirlwind that whips up all the dust
To cloud our minds obscure our view
Of the love that is around us the warmth of those we look to
I saw dust ‘til I saw you, and

Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door

The actors are backing out of clear sight
When happiness fades into the backlight
The mind is a whirlwind like a fist fight
Swinging me side to side
Back and forth and back and forth

Everything will pause and be still
When the weeds are shooting through the floor
The flood comes bursting through the door

Come on around, clear these dust clouds
‘Cause the days too short to wish away or undersell the words you say
