Are you happy?
someone asked me
of late at just
the right
moment

I hesitated
What exactly is
happiness?
Not wealth
or fame

It is not
to be found
in dopamine
or dancing
through life

Not
godliness
ascetiscism
or contentment
But it surely feels like

an approximation of a
certain moment of bliss
that even now
I cannot fully
apprehend

AH 2018
Dedicated to Roos
The rain falls
               Head over heels
        And I wonder
Why no one told it
                    That was such a bad idea.
Ask your questions now
But don’t expect any answers
For you know what I know
And I don’t, what you know not

Confused about which path to take
Don’t be anymore
All of it ends with the same purpose

Don’t stop, don’t look back
It doesn’t matter which road we embark
What matters is that we embark

Are you scared of what lies ahead?
Is it the uncertainties, that frightens you?
Well, not all poems rhyme,
Not all stories follow the typical plot lines
Life is what you make of it
Without knowing what’s going to happen next.
