Ode To Happiness

Ode to Happiness Happiness is elusive It perches on the shoulder for a while Flying off in an instant if not nourished O, Happiness, the search for you began With first breath The struggle to find you is unending And unquenchable How sad that you dwell inside us All the while And no one looks for you there.

Love the way you closed this at the end! So very true we often search else where then for what already lies within us. Beautifully expressed :)
