Simple Bliss

Joy comes harder to me

The simple bliss of living

So easy its hard

Two cats in the yard

In a houseful of gaffes

and misgiving

Joylessness comes easy

The knotty loops of gaging

Tough love on the case

in this exact place

On a streetcar of strife

and rampaging

Bliss is a gift in this life

The stilly joy of living

Charged bolts in the air

on a wing and a prayer

In a whirlwind of slings

worth forgiving
