Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness

I have fallen from passages
into the lighted realm of being
It is a stillness desired
so I may once again
get in touch with my soul
It lies in my body
wrapped around joy
and has given me life
by my desire to love-
even when hate prevails
in a world of confusion
Peace has not been attained
and I gulp with sadness
for our mission is not to die
with unfullfilled unions
or forgetfullness....
about why we are here
I dream with my heart
that someday man will rejoice
and return to his roots-
Life, love ...
and the pursuit of happiness...
