Real Happiness

"True happiness lies not not outside
But is sourced from depth of ourselves." by author

                                               Real Happiness

                         Like haze that fades away in the wide space 
                                frail, fragile and casual like cotton 
                                  earthly, mundane and temporal     
                                    subtle, shrewd and sensitive
                                         is outward happiness
                                           that flits off awhile
                                               quite furtively  
                                                   far away
                                                    like the
                                                     breeze
                                                       but
                                                   in realms
                                                where resides
                                               the sincere self
                                           lies the seat of peace
                                          fount of real happiness
                                        the source of eternal bliss
                                    gleaming with faith ever awake
                                   as in lakes of love lies happiness
                             and shine the sparks of silvery kindness.

Peace, happiness and bliss lie in kindness and love. They bring us lasting joys. All else is ephemeral, vanishing like soap bubbles. Beautiful etheree. All the best dear Krish.
