Happiness Is Where You Want It To Be

A moment stretches To open the window Inviting with open arms The clouds from beyond. A rainbow will come, there any time When I am alone, and I am serene, Among the bustling crowd When I am lost Anonymity lessens The burden of me. Rain brings anxiety To the coconut seller The heap at his feet Is not yet over His wife on the other cart Tending the tea Looks at her man, resigned to fate A smile crosses the space, for a moment Lighting up the darkness Gathering about. Rain may come, but can not dampen Their spirit and their love, Their resolve To face it together. Under the stove, And between the wheels Of the rickety stall, in the space Meant for storage, Two children play, Their tittle-tattle And innocent laughs, Drowned in the bustle But soaring into the heaven Such is the purity Life daren't intervene. Happiness is Where you want it to be. Under the sky full of bliss There will be a rainbow, Now! if you want.
