The journey towards happiness
Is beset with twists and turns
Ups and downs
Highs and lows
It is a journey
Of struggles and challenge
Effort and toil
And not a destination
Remaining still and quiet
In even the most tranquil place
After a while can become hellish
Rejoicing wildly at the nearest peak
For too long
Becomes hollow
We need to move
Explore, contribute, take others with us
To change the world around us
And in doing so
We can move and change our inner world
Becoming happy
Together with others
