Doings: Happiness Rising

Turning everything inside out
To find the source of the water course,
The goal so long sought
Turns out to be
Just another stew in the pot;

Not feeling so hot
Because the temperature’s up,
No party for me
Spring only brings on the heat,

Nevertheless, this will not defeat
The feeling of joy
That arises by itself,
Regardless of the predicament;

Like all else,
This happiness comes and goes,
The same as the seasons,
For no particular reasons

Or for some explanation
That maybe only the process knows
But declines to share,
Happiness doesn’t care

But that’s the point of it you see,
To be carefree!
Not concerned or restricted
And with nothing to lose or gain;

It’s completely untrainable
And like a zebra untamable,
Unruly and spontaneous,
Indifferent to the desires in us,

Coming and going,
Heedless of knowing,
Like the wind that’s blowing
Or the warm air flowing.
