The art of Happines


Or the joy
ecstasy,
rapture,
delight,                                                       
satisfaction,
enchantment,
peace,
contentment,
enjoyment,
blessedness,
pleasure--
that can belong to
every human life-time?

Magical currents
flow through us
-it is
a truth
we cannot escape-
life
and the possibility of
the human mind
so beautiful
with wonder.

We can
invent
our
happiness
and color
destiny.


Magical sensations
in the universe
sublime and startling
cosmic secrets
I want to insist
be happy or die.

External evils,
mental weariness
bodily weakness,
pressure upon us
the illusion
of the commonplace
challenge our spirit
as we wrestle
with this chaotic world.


lump together
all the evils of your life
revolt against them
revolt
at the bottom of your soul
refuse to yield.
In a spirit
of absolute defiance
resist.

Gather together
the forces of the soul
embrace the mystery of life
embrace the mystery of death
swim in the water
leap into the air
fall back
and
deal
with life.


You have
to be able
to defeat misery
and even
the devil.

Force your soul to leap up
Force it to
Lump the evils together
Then
pull yourself together.
you are
air and water
and earth and fire
Don't begin to pity yourself
Say to yourself,
This is mine
this
life.


I taste
something to hate
here
in this place
of desolation
and misery
futile
last resort
wretched wretched
weary tedium
sick to death of the daily struggle
and burden of the mind
poor decisions
weak will
yet
i dont't
feel like ending it.


Once and again
we are all confronted
with the necessity
for some magic of the mind
to simply forget
the miserable

Here is your soul
watching this earth-life
watching it with love
with curiosity
a mysterious feeling
a strange sort of trance
will soon come
a sensation as if you
were the whole universe.
you escape from your misery--
you feel
hypnotized
by this world
you touch its sadness
with faint dim hope.
