Happiness,

can not be found in the flesh

For as warm it may be

As soft to your fingers it is

It will lay soft and cold eventually

 

can not be found in gold

Yes, it never loses its luster

But many coins you need to muster

And no number will fill the gap in your soul

 

can not be found in others

For the laughs may distract

The facade will crack

And still you will be empty inside

 

ilusive as it may be

It follows you around

It never left

For within you she rest

Waiting to be awoken

And while the rest might feel great

They serve as nothing but crutches

On your own you must stand

If you are to revel

On the pleasures life offers...

 

To improve one self

To look on path troded

It´s essence

 

To know there is more

With hunger jump forth

It´s rushes

 

To balance the mind

With the desire of the heart

It´s key

 

And once held in hand

You will understand

That happiness flies like a bird

But behind she left

Tranquility

And the knowledge

That you can get it again...
