Happiness Poem by Barry Middleton
Happiness
taking only what it needs
the flower is nourished
to want more than needed
creates misery
defeat brings anguish
victory brings arrogance
there is no happiness
in the poison of hatred
there is no happiness
in the prison of fear
peace is like a nesting bird
at harmony with grace
only the treasure of health
is worth possessing
peace in solitude
is like a star at midnight
happiness is a reflection
a flickering candle
Thanks Dimitrios, glad you liked it. Happiness should be so easy but it is quite elusive in reality. I tried to capture the simplicity. .

So full of wisdom. Great depth. Something that life teaches us but only the wise learn. A work of deep insight n vision. A perfect 10.
