Happiness faces an uphill journey
Touched by deeper shades
Frayed edges are difficult pronunciations
The word stays together clumsily
During adverse times; dissociation in between
The perfect tone is a rarity
Fewer souls believe in the sanctity
Seasons have never missed their arrival
Even while life slows down
Not yet there, but seen from a distance
Dissimilarities are glaring
A long long way, and tiresome journey
Artificial extravagance is inessential
Now, who can convince anyone
The lights cast a shadow on dreams
Waiting for a pure light- the eternal
While wishing everyone
A good fortune and sincere happiness
Feelings brighter and honest love
