Happiness

There are no words for
the feeling of enlightenment
that is so calm,
broad-based, unspeakably
resonating with the cosmos
but let me attempt:
It is dawn.
You are in bed,
beside a loved one.
Crisp air surrounds you
as you snuggle under a comforter,
wombed in, dreaming.
The faint tinkle of tuned chimes
weaves into the sound of light rain.
There is no need,
only radiance,
the wordless meaning
of belonging.
