HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS

Happiness is like an exultant state of mind
A temporary escape from the daily grind

Sadness is blown away by a timely breeze
And it’s certainly about time, if you please

It is such a feeling of joy beyond measure
One revels in that most welcome pleasure

But one wonders if there’s a price to pay
Maybe sadness will return to have its day

It’s a balance then, between up and down
White or black, and not that greyish brown

With a dull life lived in that in-between state
Waking each morning and it’s not that great

So, be one to seek and experience extremes
If you don’t get it yet, rely on your dreams
