'The Elusive Blue'

'The Elusive Blue'

Happiness

You lovely bird

Darting in and out

Of my life

I try to grasp you

And hold on tight

Only to see you

Slip away

And fly out of reach.

Again and again.

I used to run

The breathless chase

As you well know.

Did you delight

In my Tom Foolery?

As would a dog

At play?

Well....Now the game

Is done.

I no longer watch and wait

For you.

If you happen by

I pretend not to notice

For then you are

Content to stay

And nap with me...
