Happiness is within

In search of happiness,

I booked a  ticket to the other side of the universe,

Armed with a backpack, stuffed with  too many expectations,

I embarked on a journey

.

In the earth beneath and above in the sky,

Probed from each  particle

So, on the question of mine,

The air was a long sweet dream

And the earth was a sweet wide smile

In the ears of the supreme sun,I whispered

While I was searching happiness into the pocket of Silver beauty and twinkling stars,

They all bestowed me with even a wider smile

.

Yet again, my quest had failed!

To lean on my intuition and inner guide more

Though, in the lap of an intriguing nature,

I always get a feeling of euphoria

And travelling gave me a chance to learn

.

Sigh!!

But then I heard my inner voice,

That enlightened me with the thought,

That happiness can be found even inside the four walls,

Happiness is within me

And  apprised me to make happiness a choice.

  4. This is such a profound poem, Pooja. We travel around the universe, looking for happiness, while it’s right here, within us. Glad the protagonist in your poem realised that, many never do.
