Happiness is a labor
Crawling out of dour
Funk isn’t fun
Smiling is an effort
But happiness can be achieved
Given the right circumstances
And substantial effort
Letting go and letting the groove come
There are other movements of the soul that are good, too
The blues is sublime
Creative passion
Ecstasy–not happiness
Sometimes I wonder why go on
If nothing matters
If nothing matters,
Why not keep going?
I can be happy
If the groove is right
If the right circumstances arise
I can smile
