” True Happiness”
In search of true happiness, I wander,
A state of mind misunderstood by all,
For humans crave what they deem as joy,
In cars, partners, friends, or dreamlike realms.
.
But happiness, dear souls, hides deep within,
Within the caverns of your mind and heart,
Not found in fleeting wishes, desires unmet,
But in acceptance of life’s every part.
.
Reflect, my friends, on this profound truth,
That happiness eludes those who seek,
For wanting a partner, gaining a mate,
Brings fleeting joy, a momentary peek.
.
True happiness, not a transient glimmer,
Is found in accepting life’s blessed embrace,
With all its ups and downs, its joys and pains,
In gratitude, find solace and true grace.
.
So, pause and ponder, for it is not in things,
In fulfilling desires, where happiness thrives,
But in accepting what you have been blessed with,
And embracing what you lack, your soul shall thrive.
.
Unveil the veil of misconception, my friends,
And let true happiness fill your being,
For it resides not in external attainments,
But in surrendering, and truly seeing.
.
Open your hearts, let go of the chase,
And feel the bliss of life in its every hue,
For in acceptance lies the key to lasting joy,
In embracing all, find the happiness that’s true.
.
