Challenge of the Week CVII
Happiness. The ever-elusive state in which we all strive to linger. Write about the pursuit or experience of happiness. Perhaps it's an illusion. Perhaps it's a character who finds happiness in an unlikely place. Perhaps it'll be the simplest thing you'll ever write, or perhaps the most difficult. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

horses are my happiness.
i had never seen anything like you before,
your head was easily fifteen feet from the floor.
your chocolate eyes looked at me, not through me,
and you listened to my every whim.
i remember climbing onto your back,
and my little girl voice telling you"high ho, silver, away!"
to which you laughed and stood there patiently,
because you knew the damage you could do.
you always chose not to, though,
and i remember that. happiness for me
is when i know that you can hurt me,
but i know that you're choosing not to.
