Happiness

A wardrobe of refinement I shall acquire,
all the accessories my heart may desire.
Yet beyond silks, threads, and jeweled attire,
I seek the art of Zen, to lift me higher.
A peace that roots deep within my core,
a love for self, a spirit to explore.

My hopes and dreams shall manifest here,
even as life’s final breath draws near.
The present moment, far from the past,
my future is now, held in my grasp.
For happiness is not some distant quest—
it blooms in the now, in moments blessed.

A happiness of wonder, I dare to proclaim,
my life is full; I feel no dismay.
Around each corner, new adventures rise,
my future unfolds right before my eyes.

To follow the flock, I shall never obey,
it’s in my nature to wander and play.
I dance to the rhythm of my own song,
charting a path where I truly belong.
For life’s journey is not just to exist—
but to give and receive, a joyous gift.

I’ve learned to embrace what I cannot know,
letting go of fears, letting love flow.
For happiness, I see, is not in things—
but in the freedom and joy that living brings.
With insight into the magic of this,
I plan to share out my gifts in bliss.

So I walk with purpose, with laughter and light,
content in the morning, at peace in the night.
For I’ve found the secret, so simple, so true—
happiness blooms when I choose to pursue
the life that’s uniquely, authentically mine,
a life filled with love, where I truly shine.
