Theme : Happiness is an inside job

 

My restless soul sought for happiness everyday,

As my ambling days seemed to wallow in somber grays.

 

I asked the azure sky and the shimmering stars at night,

And the songsters that seemed to enjoy their untamed flight. 

 

I asked the towering mountains that always stood still yet never felt low,

And rivers that enjoyed every moment during their course of flow.

 

I asked the trees that danced in gay abandon regardless of the changing seasons,

And flowers that bloomed unabashedly sans pretense. 

 

I asked the vales and the misty moors that linger contently in silence, 

And the serene moon that mirthfully enamors the world from a distance.

 

And then I heard a voice gently whisper to me,

“ Introspect, make an effort within, and happy you shall be.

 

Don’t keep questioning the world around,

The key to happiness lies in the simple truths profound.”
