Happiness
An Emotional Response to Surroundings
Happiness is a reassuring smile
Brushing past the teeth.
If it takes awhile,
It just might be concealed underneath.
It must be captured,
Grasped tightly.
Something that cannot be mastered,
Not even slightly.
A condition,
By no means abiding.
There is an overwhelming suspicion,
Up for deciding.
On its own,
A contagion.
An alluring unknown
Bringing motivation.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
