186. Happy Thoughts

Published on 28 November 2016 at 14:25

Happy thoughts come from happy places,

and sad thoughts from sad spaces,

though all I have seen are empty faces

in an attic full of a thousand cases.

And I knew not if there was anything inside.

If there was, you’d expect me to have cried.

Though, if I said I hadn’t already, then I have lied.

Because inside, the faces had already died. 

And I became lost, and quite cold. 

My spirit then became fragile and old,

but it was then that I was told

that all the souls were wrongly sold.

To whom? I hadn’t a single clue,

but it left me feeling rather blue.

I knew not if what I was told was true,

but I knew then what I had to do.

I placed a thought in each one’s mind,

a happy thought I once could not find.

No longer lost, I could see they were kind.

And I knew I’d done the right thing this time.

Happy faces danced all over the town,

no longer sad thoughts just lying around.

I was happy the faces were safe and sound.

And never again did I see a happy face frown.
