Louie Levy - Happiness *

--------------------
Happiness - Sadness,

Meaningless words...
Feelings reflect,
Emotions absurd
Smiles with faces,
Frowns on clowns
Worried mothers
Silent children
Void of sounds

Mind control,
Nerve endings
Muscle spasms
Tear ducts flow...

Laughter by control,
Sadness by choice
Smiles be masked
In our hearts we rejoice...

There is truth!
There are eyes with lies,
Tears for cries...
Happiness is

'A heart that tries'

* We look to others for
this feeling, only to see
obscurities and deceptions,
The answers are within us -
and will always be...
