Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is happiness.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A philosophical number poem in which happiness lies in
passion, joy, and love, resting in the arms of death and pain:
Thirty-six sings well the song of life,
Having long known well its sweet refrain.
In passion, joy, and love lies happiness,
Resting in the arms of death and pain.
There are those who battle for success,
Yet wind up winning much with little gain.
Sing, then, of what is neither more nor less;
In music limn the grace beneath the strife,
X-rays of a silence, spare and plain.
