Looking

It amazes me sometimes.
Everyone has different lives, but really we all want the same thing: HAPPINESS.

Hard to find? I think so.
Maybe it is because I have buried it somewhere in the back of a dark closet,
Or I might have left it in a past life.
Wherever it is, I thought I was the only one looking for it.
In the process of looking, my opened eyes noticed that maybe everyone else is looking for it too.

How is it that so many are missing this element in their life?
Maybe someone else has my happiness.
Maybe I have been living with happiness that belongs to someone else.

Some say that have found their happiness, and that may be true, but do they every wonder if they could be happier?
I bet they could.
Everyone could.

Maybe I am not looking for happiness.
Maybe everyone else is looking for something else too.

CONTENTEDNESS?

Is that what it is?
Is the population settling for less than happiness?

I sure hope not.

The Stars and I

Alone,
But not completely alone...with the company of the stars.

The night sky like a fruit tree, where I could just reach up and pick the brightest ball of fire.

Beauty so amazing it made my heart ache...

With every one that fell, I held my breath,
And wished the same wish

One...
Two.....
Three times.

Each time hoping that the most important wish I have ever wished
Would come true.

Not my first late night rendevous with the beauty of the night sky,
But it has been what seems like forever.

Star light, star bright
All the beautiful stars I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have that one wish I wished tonight
