We sail all night because happiness is in the wind

 

 

We drove all night to the beach  

taking turns sleeping against jackets balled up for a pillow 

 

We walked miles up the side of a mountain

getting there just before dark,  greeted by owls and a half moon

 

We waited in line for hours for concert tickets

leaning against a wall and sitting on a concrete sidewalk

                                                                back when getting them in person was the only way to get a seat 

 

It has always been the two of us:   

the wind at our backs, or in our faces 

 

                                                                 because happiness is in the wind
