HAPPINESs
A villanelle style poem.

The height of happiness is attained
With the antidote to unhappiness,
Contentment with peace of mind maintained.

A water filled oasis on land reclaimed
An umbrella on a rainswept day
The height of happiness is attained.

Saturating floodwater safely drained
Fertile soil to grow fresh healthy food
Contentment with peace of mind maintained.

The storm recedes, normality regained,
The sun shines after the constant rain,
The height of happiness is attained.

Happiness returns as normality is sustained
Help for the affected pours in,
Contentment with peace of mind maintained.

A cool fresh shower on a mountain top
With peace and sunshine, freedom from fear,
The height of happiness is attained
Contentment with peace of mind maintained.
