Wrap Pessimism!

(Written for haikuhorizons  Close!  Here I have taken the meaning 'shut', not intimacy.)

Wrap  pessimism in
Envelope, slam beyond mind.
Open eyes to bliss.

The tot closes not
His toy basket, but tosses;
Sees rod with mother.

Burglar breaks open
The bank's tightly-closed strong room.
Swag ho! Abundant.

The nature shuts the
Door of dusk to dark and opens
The dawn's gate to light. 
  
The infant observes
 Penance in womb, eyes closed; thou,
Ecstasy, art God!

   For haikuhorizons
