Happy House Rules

Fill the rooms
with sunlight and birdsong.

Release the chessmen.
They may play on the floor.

Eccentricity shall observe the game
from a tilted chair.

Black clouds must not hover over
the Happy House

(the sky is so blue!)

though, overnight,
gentle rain

(silvered by moonlight)
might occasionally fall.

Breathe in happiness.

Allow the walls
to smile.
