The chemistry of happiness
Do not seize life
With struggle and strife.
Let pass of it
Without even a greet
Like a woman, a stranger,
We only wish we capture.
Among all things, the prettier
Leave in our memory a flower.
Do not seize delight
O beast, O hurt
Your prey is prettier before
It is eaten and killed, far more,
Spend your time just watching
Behind that wall of timing
Pray for the wheat for the smell
Of the rain over there where you dwell.
Share with the whisper of the wind
The delightful weddings that had passed.
Nations told nations and their speech spread
That the earth is round like a loaf of bread;
And that crying, like laughter,
Is a moment following the other
