Happy

People ask me

why I am happy.
What can I say?
I stopped trying to be
the sharpest tool
in the shed.
Once I gave that up,
I could rest in all this love.
Relaxed, I opened the door,
stepped out and discovered
                   the whole bliss garden
                                                                                                                                 I’d been missing.
