An emotion or an illusion?
When you think, you are.
When you want, you can.
When you don’t—can you?
A state or a fate?
Do you decide it, or not?
Is it in your mind,
or beyond thought?
Is it materialism or a bond,
a lasting memory of years along—
a friendship, a relation, an achievement,
or nature’s quiet appreciation?
Is it real, or is it fake?
Something defined, or something I make?
A gaze into eyes,
or a stare at the stars?
If it is peace,
does it shine in the night sky?
Is it beautiful, or merely calming?
Cool or exciting—does it differ for all?
A claim to most,
or the worst of all?
Found in small things,
or in things that are not?
A sip of coffee in the cold,
or a cool breeze in summer’s warmth?
Is it in birth, or in death?
Up until now, more or less,
if I am in confusion,
so are you.
Asking yourself—
What is happiness?
I wrote this a year ago, the question still lies my mind- the emotion specifically happiness, I don't know it's a mere satisfaction or something pleasing , it emerges a variety. Often bind with something pleasing or which makes you feel good, nevertheless a emotion is something which defies logic , that's why its different from a mere thought process , it's unpredictable sometimes following a pattern sometimes it does not.
But my improvised question is that what is the most basic and substantial thing which is found in every source of this happiness.
