Happiness Is Where You Want It To Be
A moment stretches
To open the window
Inviting with open arms
The clouds from beyond.
A rainbow will come, there any time
When I am alone, and I am serene,
Among the bustling crowd
When I am lost
Anonymity lessens
The burden of me.
Rain brings anxiety
To the coconut seller
The heap at his feet
Is not yet over
His wife on the other cart
Tending the tea
Looks at her man, resigned to fate
A smile crosses the space, for a moment
Lighting up the darkness
Gathering about.
Rain may come, but can not dampen
Their spirit and their love,
Their resolve
To face it together.
Under the stove,
And between the wheels
Of the rickety stall, in the space
Meant for storage,
Two children play,
Their tittle-tattle
And innocent laughs,
Drowned in the bustle
But soaring into the heaven
Such is the purity
Life daren't intervene.
Happiness is
Where you want it to be.
Under the sky full of bliss
There will be a rainbow,
Now! if you want.
