HAPPINESS

Desired by all, yet difficult to harness
Something that leads to the calmness

Of one’s soul, heart and also of mind
But first one needs to be determined
Freeing all the wishes that’s confined
To know that the destiny has defined
Enlightening self thro’ the darkness

A life on edge with ecstasy and thrill
From depth of sea to the peak of hill
Venturing them with spirit and skill
Subduing trouble that’s rising uphill
Sensing victory by defiant madness

Along all seasons that comes in life
With a feel of ignorance at times rife
That needs be cut by a wishful knife
For gaining peace from all the strife
Winding grief to remove dampness

With astute faith rekindling all hope
For the escape there is always scope
Still determination you need to rope
To hold on and then glide the slope
To attain happiness from the sadness
