Happy Beyond: a Poem by Jody Seymour

Happy Beyond

Peering out into tomorrow
in me a longing
What must happiness be?
No answer in the
mystery
So a space in my
heart wonders
why

“To be loved and to love”
comes from some
unknown place
“Searching proves
pointless
It happens somewhere
between grace
and loss of
control”

Happy beyond the
need to be
A river named
Contentment
runs beneath all
that seems
ordinary

Stop, breathe, and
let life be
A gift waits like
dew on a leaf
only to be
noticed

Happy is to know
there is a
knowing that
knows you
You are from
beyond…
and that place
waits for you
to simply be
