Happiness

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”
― Oprah Winfrey

Happiness is swimming
in a warm ocean.
It’s a stroll on the wild side,
a loved one’s devotion.

It’s a fragrant forest,
the moon in full glow.
Life’s resonant praise
and letting it flow.

Sometimes it’s elusive
and hides in the dark.
Other times it awakens
with songs of the lark.

Happiness weaves into
the fabric of life,
the sharing of kindness and
contentment inside.

Its breath sustains us
till next time it visits.
Timeless laughter,
moments of no limit.

Mostly we try to hold it
and keep it in full view,
despite seasons of sorrow
it leaves residues.

Happiness sprinkles
into the cosmos of time.
It’s a constant remembrance,
of an eternal Divine.
