Happiness is forever fleeting
We can try to grasp it as long as we want
but it finds a way to slip
through the cracks
like water through a broken vase
Still, we chase it.
Sometimes happiness is our only hope
our only way out of the dark
so,
we search aimlessly for it,
as if it were burried treasure
and in many ways,
it is.
We dedicate our lives
to fully acheive
one of the most unacheivable things
in the world.
Maybe
were looking for it the wrong way
maybe,
it comes to us.
Like a moth to a flame
Or,
it sneaks upon us
when we least expect it.
All I know is this:
We cannot find happiness on top of the highest mountain
Or below the deepest sea
It resides in the little things
a smile,
a hug,
a home cooked meal,
the crakle of a fire.
So yes, happiness is fleeting
but so are we
my friend
so are we
