Incessant moments of happiness

Tread the boards of our lifetimes.

They appear,

Reappear.

Breaking through grey clouds

With sunshine.

Incessant moments of happiness

Make the world’s verses

Shift,

Fit.

Rearranging the words

With true rhyme.

Incessant moments of happiness

Are like lullabies

Are to cherubim

Come bedtime.

Incessant moments of happiness

Feel like the scent

Of one

And a thousand pine forests.

Fresh,

Soothing.

Like the pulp

Of the sweetest melon.

London, My beloved London...

On my first day as a British citizen,

it seems most appropriate to publish

a celebratory poem.

To this city, this country that

I love so much.

GROUND ZERO + 36

London,

My beloved London.

You greet me

With a bundle of sunshine.

London,

My beloved London.

You put your magic on display.

Now Big Ben and then Trafalgar.

London,

My beloved London.

Framing happily my heart,

Putting words into this stanza.

The morning sun hits me on my back...

GROUND ZERO + 9

The morning sun

Hits me on my back.

Pushing me

Towards my shadow.

The morning sun

Guides me.

East to west.

Helping me retrace my steps.

In one golden embrace of fire.
