Fantasies and joy

Life should be a celebration, joy throughout the day

Yes, I live in fantasy and, yes, that is my way

To waste my time on melancholy seems embrace of gloom

So, if I am to build this life and follow my own doom

There is no need for landmines, if so lightly I do step

The flowers brush against my skin, the joy within is kept

I'll never bow my head down low, for anger or in thrall

To say that I have never wept would, simply, not say all

The pain inside a human can be swept away in time

But, only if the pain is seen as broken lines of rhyme

Believe that joy's contagious but, then, so is aching heart

It's all in the perception taken with you from the start

How much the pain can be contained and finally overcome

Before the beating ends the day with final beat of drum

But, one must gaze on up the road for just a little ways

So, one can find the time to sprinkle joy on many quays
