In my pursuit towards happiness and attaining a generally better sense of self-esteem, I have now embarked upon a wonderful journey with some wonderful people on Happier. This week I am executing my gratitude ritual by writing a short poem everyday on the things that make me happy. I start with the Sun.
The eternal fire ever burning brighter
illuminates dark space with floating matter
heat and light it churns out like a mill
I wonder at the persistence of its will
it has burned for an age, yet seems to rise
everyday a new light, every morning a surprise
without it, we cannot live yet too much we cannot have
burn me you will, if I but dare to grab
at the magnanimity of your core
and at your benevolence of giving more and more
O star of stars, our only star
stay there always in your place afar
come not closer or move away further
even an inch hither or thither
I like you up there and your daily sleep
a bit of darkness everyday is also of need
eternal fire, you give me power
when I dare to look upon you at noon
in your rays of pure light I daily shower
and get ready, it will be morning soon
