While zigzagging through leafless <br />Trees on a moonlit night <br />A cold wind bumps into <br />A gutted house, trips and <br />Tumbles down a <br />Jagged hole in the roof, <br />Steps hard into a rain puddle <br />On the blackened carpet, <br />Distorts the moons' reflection, <br />Stumbles out the contorted portico, <br />Surprising the windchimes, <br />Untouched by the flames, <br />Happy as ever.<br /><br />Francis Santaquilani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-as-ever/
