Happiness
Teach me to see
and only see
How love exists
Everywhere
Open my mouth,
wade in my pulse
And teach me to sing
Everything
Teach me to dive,
into her eyes
And keep on swimming
To the core of her light
Repeat the human song,
Sing “There’s a whale in me”
Teach me to be
A juniper tree
To live and die
Peacefully
and only see
How love exists
Everywhere
Open my mouth,
wade in my pulse
And teach me to sing
Everything
Teach me to dive,
into her eyes
And keep on swimming
To the core of her light
Repeat the human song,
Sing “There’s a whale in me”
Teach me to be
A juniper tree
To live and die
Peacefully

This is a beautiful poem. I read it in the Joy competition. It's purity of intent is palpable.
