don’t let anyone mock the soft surface
of your happy heart
they’re just jealous of how easy it is for you
the vivid pulse a steady sparkle of life and light
if only they could laugh so loud and love so deep
but they can’t
so they won’t want you to either
ignore them sweetheart
let your soul cry and yearn and giggle and dance
and never stop being a spinning top of life
in a world of statutes
happy heart [poem]
