The Unknown of Happiness

The Unknown of Happiness

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield

When I'm around you, the world feels like paradise
I'm caught up in this whirlwind of joy
As the sky so blue, the sun so lemony yellow
The grass and trees of a green and verdant glow
I feel the pulse of the world
Just being in your presence


Time is a relative thing
And when you are here, it begins to malfunction
It stops and an eternity can be found in a second
It speeds up and a day seems to be a fleeting moment
My mind cannot quantify this phenomenon
My heart can feel it though
And it tells me, beat by beat
That you are something beyond the theories and thoughts of science
You are the beautiful unknown that is happiness


And I wonder why I am so worthy of this high
I wonder how could I be blessed with such emotion
The feeling that I can float on clouds
That I can transcend all that is harsh and cruel in reality
And magic can be found streaming from you beautiful eyes
I am entranced and fluttering with each beat
The sound of your heart as a drum for us to follow
How could anything be better, be sweeter


And as I see that the world is so jaded
That the tides seems to run with hate and pain
I wonder how can I be so content with this life
So much pain, so much wrong
But then I realize I can only do so much
And with you by my side I dream and hope
To bring this glorious high I feel when you are here
Trumpeting me into greater and greater heights
For you are what I have searched for
You are what the world needs
You are the beautiful unknown that is happiness
