Wanderers searched for a happy place
Imagining to sculpt from the dreams we seek
Everyone looked to breach the rampart
Seeking freedom and happiness in new valleys
Every landscape was transformed by our dreams
Happiness still was short-lived
Our steps trampled over virgin lands and forests
Too many melodies were composed
Finally, discordant notes destroyed the original tune
Harmony was altered forever
Numerous echoes within went unheard
We rapidly rushed towards happiness
Although, we were oblivious about nature’s ridicule
Attuned to the discordant tunes
Now, happiness sounds like a jarring note
Now echoes within us have become feeble
We are still wandering in search of happiness©

I love the way you traverse in a circle from wandering in search of happiness back to wandering in search of happiness.
The journey continues…Lovely, Amitav!

There’s a simple philosophy of life, happiness is a state of mind one can achieve happiness in the real sense when one is content with life. Unfortunately, we associate happiness with things or activities we do (shopping, holidaying, partying etc.); these are momentary pleasures which one thinks is happiness and thus the activities are repeated and get caught up in that lifestyle. True happiness remains elusive because the real feeling is always neglected which is all along within us.

Absolutely. Real happiness is an internal thing; there is no external achievement or possession that can create it. Real happiness is worth the journey…

Yes, keep life simple and I try to spread that message. Whether people take note of it in a positive way or look at it with disdain is their prerogative. I only wish people happiness and wish them positivity in life. 🙂
