Definition of Happiness

The princess walks to her ornate window adorned in a blue dress with red pearls innocent wishes oppressed under their weight desiring to walk freely in those green fields raindrops seeping into parched layers of her soul she longs to be happy beyond grand castle walls The little girl hides under a tattered tent raindrops dripping her precious torn frock her frayed spirits covered in borrowed rags dreaming of soft dry velvet bed in a cosy home waking up to cocooned walls scattering sunlight she longs to be happy beyond green fields Happiness floats swaying between the two to each their own July 7, 2020

So much one can relate with, we all can see the desirable aspects of what we don't have and miss the blessings of what we do have. Such wisdom. Love your musings, Aditi ~ John

Wow! So wonderfully contrasted, we often forget that happiness lies in the little things and that the grass looks greener on the other side, well expressed, Aditi:)

I like how you showed the contrast between the two girls Aditi, each one longing for their own happiness in their own world. Good luck in the contest Tom
