Dance Of Happiness

The aroma of black tea

Awakened my senses

The rain is pouring

My smile is widening

And my eyes are glittering with affection

Looking at my black and white cat

Who stares at me

The wind, with force and anger

Emerged from the depths of the sky

To find love

To obtain acceptance

And to taste joy with flowing rain

Rain is happy

She leans on the firm shoulder of the wind

The wind let off steam

Rain laughs

With tears of excitement streaming down her face

Their bodies joining

And the echoing sound of pleasure can be heard from the distance

My cat, quite motionless

Rests on the soft cushion as a soundless spring breeze

And I imagine

The swaying dance of happiness by the sea
