Is happiness...an illusion
...On the wings of time
Sought...and pursued...
Though impossible..to find
....That infinite mirage
One....cannot clasp...
An elusive...emotion
Beyond....the grasp
A fleeting...apparition
.....Or...does it exist...
Some cruel hoax of nature
.....Or a spiritual....twist
Whatever......the answer
.....Satisfaction....I take
In that measure..of comfort...
Only contentment...can make
