happiness

I dreamt yesterday
of walking to the door
of a room
yes, full of happiness
it was; I knew
ere entering
as is the nature
of such dreams.
And I knocked
the polished
brass knocker
with anticipation
… no trepidation.
The door opened
soundlessly
I walked in
and found myself
yes, full of happiness
which was
within, not without
I looked around at
the vast emptiness
and felt truly
- happy -
for the first time
