Thoughts and Happiness

(a poem with the help of a page from The Christian Science Monitor, below))

His goal of getting happiness for himself

depended on his thoughts, 

for most of his thoughts

needed  to quickly make a name for themselves

if he was to find happiness. 

Some of his thoughts

were too shy to sing and prance, 

but, on the other hand, 

some were shortening the wait for happiness 

by singing a lot,

and a few of his thoughts even traveled among

the stars, or shut up their shops and went on holiday,

which helped him be happy. 

He wondered where his mother was, 

a woman who was always

open to the outside, 

and always felt free to be

as happy as she wanted. 

She was gone now, 

but his family of thoughts was dancing 

and moseying

and making him happy. 

His friend Cia even said

she was struck in the face 

by some of his softest thoughts, 

and it gave her so much room

to think happy thoughts that she grew dizzy

and had to hold him very tight, 

which was okay

with him, 

but soon he too started to get dizzy.
