Happy

I don't have any words edging their way through my lips, 
desperate for the light of day. 

Here, now it is just me 
and my contentment. 
Real contentment. 
Not through wealth
 or status
 or love, 
but all these things,
in the exact measure and type they are supposed to be 
for me right now.

Everything is perfect. In its imperfection. Including me.

No languishing fears, 
no deep psychological disease. 
Just me and the sunshine. 
Passing our time idly. 

Trying everyday,
a little more, 
to eek out progress, 
in one way or another, 
compounding pieces 
in aggregate, 
towards a life of success.

Funny though,

with all this sunlight

how much you can miss the dark.
