Trying To Capture Happiness Poem by Etienne Charilaou

Trying To Capture Happiness



blue bird
atop a dry cypress branch
I gaze and I know
if my camera I fetch
when I return
thou wilt be gone
you are verily
a blue bird of happiness then

So, I gaze at your blue iridescence,
this blue shining foil brighter than
the blue sky beyond

the attempt must be made
to capture it -
the camera - quick!

I have the camera now,
and I step outside,
look up -
the branches are empty.
