In search of happiness
Sorrow creeps in… slowly
Like a thief at night… taking over my life.
I’m caught unaware, absorbed in despair.
My dreams though feted… Joy defeated.

Wind blow east, wind blow west...
God! ... When will I find rest?
Another day, another strain
Joy? ... Yet t' no avail
Wishes and dreams on feeble trips
Crushed and drowned by nature’s tricks
I sit to ponder...Could joy be yonder?
Why me? Why me? ? I quizzed and wonder!

Sadness engulfs the atmosphere
Tomorrow? Way beyond compare
Loneliness clears a path to tour
Familiarization… its aim for sure.
Retreat dares its ugly head
Love conquers all… so, no despair.

A divine ray, so pure shines through
Amidst the foggy dust and dew
Now am cold, my life unfolds
I now know… Oh yes I know! !
Those pains, I see were meant for gains
Take heed, love life, unwavering strive
These words of note, proposed for hope
I lay to rest, fulfilled at best.
