Happiness

Happiness

It’s said that happiness is elusive

Like a butterfly. One has to stop chasing it,

Sit still, and let it fall on your lap

Wrap yourself in love, tolerance, and hope

For its search can be a slippery slope

Who knows what destiny has in stored for us

One may have a strict set of paradigms of what

It’s that will bring this elusive happiness… And nothing else.

One fatal accident away

From death, or having those dreams wrecked

.

.

Just close your eyes and let sweet whispers

Weave an intricate tapestry in your psyche

Allow your soul to listen, for it is wise

Let your heart be open to all, and know that

Just one will make an indelible impression on it

The one that holds the key will be then known

Not to everlasting happiness, for it is ephemeral

For construing little moments of joy which

Create a quilt of loving memories…
Those warm the heart, even in the afterglow

Give it time to cultivate and flourish

Perhaps allow your arms to embrace the unknown

Let it cradle you gently until it is better known

Why worry about being alone, in the rush to fill A void,

We make mistakes along the way
