Happiness
Click to enlarge
Does happiness just happen,
Something you catch like a cold?
Or is it chosen,
An attitude or circumstance decided,
Like a flower you place in a glass
To color the moments that pass?
Is it a state that develops,
A pleasure that occurs
Instead of a pain,
An imagining in the mind
That's really not there?
Is it a possession acquired,
A capacity possessed
Like an ear for a sound?
Is it a distant sail upon a silver sea
That passes too fast,
A capacity possessed
Like an ear for a sound?
Is it a distant sail upon a silver sea
That passes too fast,
A rainbow dream
That cannot last,
A hidden smile
That's now unveiled?
That cannot last,
A hidden smile
That's now unveiled?
