Can't Pay

A    L    O    H    A  

    You cannot pay
a flower
to smile











 The clouds 
cannot be bribed
to part.















 Sunlight is freely
healing all hearts















 Golden moments
 cannot be saved
in a bank














 Final moment of
 glory?
No charge.














 “As the valley 
gives height to
 the mountain,
so can sorrow

 give meaning to 
pleasure;
as the well 

is the source 
of the fountain,
deep adversity 

can be a 
treasure.”

 William Arthur Ward

I imagine that without sorrow there' would be no true understanding of happiness. And yet, if sorrow continues too long it makes happiness suspect.

I do save my golden moments. I store them away and bring them out to lighten the world when things are dark. And they have saved me many a time.
