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.

Thank you dear Indrani 💚💚
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.
