Happiness elusive as the wind <br /> Comes and goes like migrating birds <br /> And the echoing peals of church bells. <br /> <br /> I would keep love safe and strong <br /> Held fast within my heart <br /> Not lost to the furies of a purple storm. <br /> <br /> I was once happy and royal with my lover <br /> Not knowing it was the truth <br /> And through folly lost all to loneliness.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happiness-135/
