Dear Happiness,

I see you sometimes,

At the bend of the wall, as the corner of your flower-patterned dress flies away;

Over the top of the multi-storied building, when the red polka dots of your balloons blink at me;

Through the mass of thick swirling clouds, as the rays of your sunshine seep through;

From in between the half-ajar door, when you cross your high-heeled feet and sip at your orange drink.

But the glimpses are always fleeting, like a train I’m forever missing by a minute,

Because sooner or later, 

You move out of sight,

You fly into oblivion,

You become so faint you’re barely there,

Or you disappear behind a shut door,

Such that the wall becomes a room, 

The building becomes a tower, 

The clouds become a raging tsunami, 

And the door becomes a gateway locked with heavy chains.

Share it!
