Happiness Poem by Noel Horlanda

Happiness

Rating: 5.0


State of mind? Feeling?
Contentment?
Satisfaction?
Pleasure? Fulfilling?
Oh, are you that complex?

Are you the moon
Stars and the sun?
That every one should moaned?
Oh, so elusive and clever.

We know there are two forms
Earthly and heavenly
But both are norms
Oh, what a quintessential

Choose one or both
But we can’t
Neither can we vote
Oh, a caesura of pure awe

Pure mind is your core
Prayers and kindness ours,
And the world needs a score
Oh, how astute you are

Physical we have
Spiritual we ain’t
Nor we have white dove
Oh, what shall we do?

To eliminate suffering, craving
Happiness will follow
Like one’s own shadow, forgiving
Oh, that’s our central concept

Then true happiness
A natural state of the soul
When liberated from all karmas, blessedness
knowledge and perception are ours to own
