What Does Happiness Sound Like? Poem by Anita Atina

A babe’s first cry, as she enters the world

Sobs of delight, greet this miracle of life


A child’s happy laugh, running free

Gasps of wonder, on making a discovery


That shy winsome giggle, on a first date

Silent conversations that leap beyond fate


A moan of delight when we soar together

When souls tenderly mingle, that hushed surrender


And that song between heartbeats

When a soulmate is near!
