May the Bird of Paradise.....

One should never spend too much time
in a search for happiness.
Like the ticks of an inaccurate clock; time will still pass
and any such fleet euphoria treasured
more than life itself
will soon fly like a buzzard
to its perch in the rotten tree above the carcass….
Waiting on the spirit to die….

rushing ahead of life in search of happiness...time is set to pass at a constant rate...just treasure each second on its accurate value, all euphoria proving to be short livened… deep wonderful insight, Ted…ten grade

so now when happiness finally slaps me in the face I may be tempted to slap back...you have such a razor sharp way of seeing things...great poem.
