Happiness in a cup

Caffe macchiato at Musical Offering in Berkeley.
If I could name the shape of happiness,
If I could show the place of happiness,
If I could describe the smell of happiness,
If I could convey the time of happiness,
If I could elaborate the taste of happiness,
I would tell you
That happiness is a cup of caffè macchiato,
At my favorite coffee shop in Berkeley,
With two fresh madeleines,
An internet connection,
And the world in my hands
Maybe sometimes,
Happiness happens on a Saturday,
Even if you stayed home, jobless, the week before
Maybe some days,
Nestled in your chair,
Fighting anxiety and fear,
There might be a message
That stirs excitement and hope
Sprinkles a smile on your face,
And grabs your heart with joy,
At the thought of love.

Hi Nazy joon maybe happiness could be find in visiting a friend whom you have never seen but are connected in heart and mind. Why don't you pack and come to New York, I promise to take care of you as well as I can and won't let you feel any fear or anxiety. With two dogs, we have enough to keep you busy for life!
