Happy

Tears of delight welling up at every note. A smile spreading with every drop of sweat. And joy at absolutely everything around me. I'm happy, so HAPPY, my dear friend. Bliss, just to witness this life's colors, bliss, tearing off the masks that stuck to my skin, letting my own face finally breathe, turning it to the sun and smiling, free! No watching the clock — just being happy! Rain from the clouds — I rush out into the downpour! Forward, faster! I can hear my heart beating… I'm happy here, now, my faithful friend. Let the night cover the earth like a blanket. Let the coming day start everything over. Let dawn touch my sleepy eyes with its first ray, calling me, once again, onto some magical road. Once again I hear the call of the Universe. So familiar, so deeply felt. Free, full of faith, my soul overflowing, I'm happy, happy TO BE ALIVE, my dear one!
