By becoming a lover.

I'm fascinated. By life. And all the possibilities.  So many scenarios. Mostly, I'm a mere observer. With virtually no control. Over the happenings. In the wide world. In the cosmos. Maybe it's just as well. That I'm unaware of what's going on. It'd be cause for alarm. For undue stress. Better to let my imagination wander. And dream of good stuff. That makes me happy. Relaxed. Tranquil. And in love. With life. Of course, I see unhappy people. All around. But for the most part, that doesn't bother me. Because they can do something about it. By searching. For happiness. I have gone on the search. Many, many times. When I've been unhappy. And always, I find happiness. By becoming a lover. --Jim Broede
