What Happiness Means

Happiness for the simple,
          it's much easier...
          With little they are satisfied,
          with the lack they are completed.
          with emptiness they are filled...
          Happiness for the complexes,
          it is much further demanding...
          Much seems little,
          the complete has gaps,
          to fullness, is always missing...
          Simplicity is a gift grace 
          for the simple...
          but a torment for
          for the "smart" !

Rama Balasubramanian June 20, 2021 at 11:06 AM I realized over a period of time that desires cause miseries. Simple living is best way to be happy. God has given bountiful nature free for us to enjoy. Much truth in what you wrote. Alkas Poetry June 20, 2021 at 3:08 PM Yes dear Rama, no about about this...man is too complicated... salute alkas
