RoseAnn V. Shawiak Happiness Poems

Happiness spreads itself thinly through life,
insisting we curb our appetites for drama.

Bringing us into laughter's attitudes on the
...

Selecting words, fitting them into lyrics of songs
I create.
Feeling tempos beating inside, giving measures of
happiness to fill my days.
...

Striding along pathways made by others, choosing not
to follow their footsteps.
Instead, creating my own, walking where I imagine I
can go.
...

Integrating happiness into years of sadness is necessary
to balance life so it won't end in an untimely manner.
Sitting on the circumference, looking over, waiting for
just the right nanosecond to take a solution in hand
...

Standing alone - deeply embedded in misery - life tramples on,
listening to another's beat.
Everywhere, turning joy into sorrow - leaving piles of feathered tears
to sort out life's miseries.
...

An anterior environment now filled with the happiness of a
love that's being shared, a momentous miracle in this life
of sacrifice and hardship.
...

Looking at tops of trees, seeing their leafy hair needs to be
cut and trimmed, hoping they will be tended to by hands of
heavenly angels from above.
...

Voices keeping time with guitars and drums, their tempos
following lines of musical notes.

Trailing in waves of emotion, feelings delving quietly
...

Entertaining thoughts of fantasy, wanting to feel
happiness from within, instead of watching tele-
vision or something else.
...

Adjusting this mind amongst rhythms as they help change and bring
about peaceful and positive attitudes to soothe it, knowing that
negative ones can never keep us well or give happiness.
...

Rocking to serenity of another day, living in
an interior life, giving all to reach necessary
messages needed to write into poetry.
...

Bubbling, frothy water rapidly flowing down river into
the ocean farther down the line.

Capturing everything not anchored, giving it all the
...

Expressing my love for you every moment of my life makes
me happy, contented, alive, therefor, all of my life is
happiness because of my expression is in love of you only.
...

Whipping around the room, rhythms lashing out gently,
reminding us that our favorite band, Cold Front is
playing tonight.
...

Hearing babies laughing and joyful touches memories of
happiness deep within, bringing smiles to faces of most
human beings.
...

Walking down memory lane where love once came and
picked me up in a whirl of happiness.

Remembering all the pretty recollections of roses
...

Luck is just a mind-set that some of us get when younger,
nothing can destroy or damage it because we're in synch
with it all through our lives.
...

Looking up into an umbrella, a large tree just outside of it,
lanterns hanging, gently swaying in an early evening breeze.

Being calmed interiorly with a tender, delicate spirituality,
...

Searching folds of life for extra feats and ideal situations
to take us beyond what is routinely done in life.

Separating this soul from others, taking off into another
...

Solitarily feeling abandoned and alone, sinking deeply
below the surface of this life for now, thinking about
all the trials gone through already.
...

Looking to the right and left, seeing moods of joy and
happiness as they flow out around the room, happy to be
free and at liberty to do and be whatever they want.
...

Sitting here writing in an Arizona afternoon,
listening to 'That's the Way I Like It',
loving that it fits me perfectly right now.
...

Sorting out tempos of rhythms while writing, moving intuitive
melodies right into the middle of everything, exciting, thrill-
ing and feeling wonder now building.
...

Lulled by morning sleep, moving slowly, taking time
to wake up.
Music climbing into consciousness a little at a
time, building to a crescendo in hearts and feet as
...

Restfully thinking about life and all it's dire
difficulties standing in the way of true happiness.
A lifetime of hopes and dreams, filled with desires,
all waylaid because of circumstances causing
...

Watching anxiously for a suspension in activity,
serendipitously displaying facets of happiness
on faces of smiles.
...

Never-ending sagas of disconsolate endeavors, pushing
people to sidelines of dismay.
Captured by anondizing lectures of servitude.
Misplaced placations sinking to tops of ocean's depths,
...

Listening to singing from many people of varied walks of
life and tones of voice.

Happy just to be in an environment of happiness through
...

Mercury climbing ever higher, succumbing to inner heat,
brought about by a love that totally satisfies every
need within life.
...

In a darkened room, relaxed, enjoying the sense
of loneliness for a while.

Visions dance and circle within, contemplating
...

Methods of being happy are so easy to attain,
just listening to music speak to my soul and
touch my brain entirely and intensely with
vibrant tones and colorful hues of anticipation.
