Happiness

State of mind? Feeling?

Contentment?

Satisfaction?

Pleasure? Fulfilling?

Oh, are you that complex?

 

Are you the moon

stars and the sun?

That every one should moaned?

Oh, so elusive and clever.

 

We know there are two forms

Earthly and heavenly

but both are norms

Oh, what a quintessential

 

Choose one or both

But we can’t

Neither can we vote

Oh, a caesura of pure awe

 

Pure mind is your core

Prayers and kindness ours,

and the world needs a score

Oh, how astute you are

 

Physical we have

Spiritual we ain’t

nor we have white dove

Oh, what shall we do?

 

To eliminate suffering, craving

Happiness will follow

like one’s own shadow, forgiving

Oh, that’s our central concept

 

Then true happiness

a natural state of the soul

When liberated from all karmas, blessedness

knowledge and perception are ours to own

You put in poetry the dream and the world should be full of Mother Teresas. At least we can write great poetry and dream. Sally by the way, who is catchage? She is dreaming of your handsomeness. lol

you can't discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight from the shore, 'cause only those who risk on tell how far they can go. Enjoy life !

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
