Poetry Day: Gaudium

(This is one of my ‘personified emotion’ poems.  Started way back when I wrote ‘Fear’ in high school using this style.  I’d been doing a lot of dark ones, so I tried one for ‘Happiness’.  Didn’t like that word as a title, so I searched for an alternative.  Gaudium is the Latin word for joy.)

My existence is the source of all positivity.
I am blissful.

 

My blessing ebbs and flows with life.
I am fleeting.

 

The path to my power can be paved with light or darkness.
I am neutral.

 

My avatars are infinite in size and scope.
I am formless.

 

All humanity strives to retain my in their lives.
I Am Happiness.
