Memories of happiness

i am fine today
i was fine yesterday
i will be fine tomorrow.

i say fine
because as i connect
the dots
of last few months
i realise
i have not been happy
or may be my memory
of happy moments has faded
as i found myself positive
and recovering.

each day was better
and so i realise
happiness is not a destination that i would
finally arrive at
for thats a high.

i now realise what
i missed
the sun
the woods
the sea
the crisp mountain air
the familiar jokes
the daily coffee

i allowed that to happen to me
because i felt helpless
so vulnerable
and so i rested
i call it hibernation.

Yes,
i am deeply thankful
to my friends
my life support
who bore witness
to how it has been.

It is now good
to be owning my own happiness
and feeling responsible for
manufacturing some of my own
or savour a ready to serve
by simply being in the arms of nature.

Its time
to make it mine.
