Little Explosions of Happiness
Little explosions of happiness
Like in the moment I met you
On the top of our mountain
Late one night
In the empty wooden hut.
We sat next to each other
And shared our dinner -
Two apples, a protein bar
And a can of beans.
Then we cuddled up in your sleeping bag -
My back to your rock-hard chest,
One of your arms
Keeping me from the cold
And the other -
The softest pillow
I've ever rested my head on.
The silence of the sleeping mountain -
So loud that it stifled our breaths.
A silence in whose embrace
A sigh felt like a moan
And a moan felt like
A cry of pleasure
Piercing
The impenetrable ink sky
Laced with a million stars.
Little explosions of happiness
Like when I was in that hospital bed
Negotiating with death and
Rejecting its addictive embrace
And you came to me,
Held my hand and
Told me everything was
Gonna be all right.
And I believed you.
Little explosions of happiness
Like when I couldn't go on anymore
And then I saw your face.
You were smiling and
Calling me to you.
And I didn't care how exhausted I was
Or how hard it was to go on.
I was enchanted.
And I just kept going
Until I reached the end
Of my journey
Never to look back.
Never.
Little explosions of happiness
Like when a little boy,
No more than three years old
And not even my kid
Trusted me enough
To blissfully fall asleep
In my arms.
Hush!
Little explosions of happiness
Like when you know,
You just know,
You'll be all right.
As if a fùcking miracle has happened,
But in fact,
Nothing has changed.
You just know.
And you see a different future
Because you've changed.
Completely.
Little explosions of happiness
Connecting the dots
On the irregular timeline
Of your life,
Giving purpose
To the absurd nonsense
That is your existence,
Reminding you
You are just an insignificant drop
In this impossibly enormous
Sea of souls roaming the earth.
And yet,
These little explosions of happiness
Give meaning to your life
Because
They matter
To you.
They matter.
Because
The are
Your
Little explosions of happiness.
