Seeking Peace


Who will not run after happiness 

A universal quest 

As it brings pleasure and contentment


Like a blossom, happiness is

Beautiful yet with finite life 

Let alone forever joyfulness


Happiness does have feet

Flees away readily

Enfeebled when meets with

All kinds of challenges 

Counting loss and death


When at last happiness is 

In our hands to enjoy, still

We worry about losing it

 

Dejection will rush into the space

Left by happiness departed

And a scar will form with a size 

Proportional to the depth of the lost joy


So I got off the road for

Chasing happiness to enter 

A path of seeking enduring peace 

For its unconditioned tranquility 

Will be a fantastic form of mindset

To sail me through this turbulent world
