Happiness Personified
by Brittanie Hignight
(Texas, U.S.)
Bonfire light on a chilly summer night,
Equivalent to a hug that feels just right.
Your palm warm in mine,
Night takes her sweet time.
Right now the sky is a rainbow,
Sun going down in a colorful show.
We watch it together and I hear you sigh,
We snuggle closer, just you and I;
Happiness personified is right before your eyes.
A breeze moves the trees and time sure flies
The fire emits a soft crackle, pop!
The wind picks up leaves, lets them drop
The ebony sky is sequined with gold
You're mine for now, forever, to hold.
A full moon that's close enough to touch
I lean into you, my warm, breathing crutch
A beating in my ear that is my favorite sound
Harmonious sighs, hearts that pound
A million stars blink, and I send a prayer up above;
Please keep a close watch over my love
