A Joyful Existence

Home, where everything is as it should be,
Where nothing is as it was,
My soul longing for an action,
A distraction from the restlessness.

As the water is joined by the blue,
I find something new in the ways
Of life boiling to the surface of
A joyful existence here and now.

May it all be kept in order underneath,
Though new tragedies and turns come,
And life brandishes forth from the unknown,
Making hay about settling down.

Let this be a happy turn for you,
An excellent page in the study
Of all these good things we admire,
In the quilted streets we know and love.
