in search of that which makes you happy
this somewhat elusive euphoria
how it starts and sputters and stops
only to repeat the process
like a solar powered pocket watch
misplaced on second story window sill
yes I know it’s a state of mind
this endless moonlit madness
waking you from self-induced slumber
suggesting you stick around
at least until the morning light
they say the universe does not age
and thrives on creativity
whether practicing inner rhymes
in your very own world
or blasting off into outer unknowns

“elusive euphoria”, you always have such a way with words.
thank you Elle – I’m happy you think so
Everything moon and moonlit beckon to me. This is so lovely.
I understand and feel the same way…thank you very much, Annie.
This, to my way of thinking is the epitome of a ‘jdub’ poem. One that makes you feel like you are exploring the universe without a space ship. Love it.
thanks so much for visiting and sharing your thoughts on this piece
Love this one! I am a big fan of your poetry! Thank you for always visiting my blog. Be well!
Thank you so much, Sofia, and the feeling is mutual. Have a lovely weekend!
