Pursuit of Happiness

-
As the darkness of the night
Envelopes the cacophony of life
Thoughts and feelings hidden
In your mind are rife 

Introspection and caution

Begin to make you wary

Ghosts that you laid to rest

Begin telling their story


Is happiness an illusion

That is created in your mind

Or to be found everywhere

Just fear making you blind


It's impermanence is scary

And it's life so fleeting

The feeling more precious

With each encounter and meeting


You hold tight grips

Still slips like grains of sand

Making the illusion of happiness

Even more grand


Unanswered questions

Dense clouds of doubt

Where do you go happiness

Let me find your whereabouts

Hidden underneath her skin and clothes  Still fiery and full of spunk Do you see that woman? Hiding behind her shyness  Yet has a wicked sense of humour Do you see that woman? Hidden behind the tired eyes and smile And has stories of daily courageous battles  Do you see that woman? Hidden behind her screen With a heart as deep as the ocean Do you see that woman? Hidden behind her insecurities Still a champion for the meek Do you see that woman? That sits on her dark windows But dreams about the stars Do you see that woman? That looks back from the mirror  She's too much, too little,  Too guarded, too crazy  Too mad and too awesome  In a life of constant storm She is the ray of light.

Leaving The Clocks Behind

Trapped in the hours of the clock I lived life in yesterday Healing scars from the past Allowing them to marr the future Experiences shaped perceptions Of how I viewed life Allowing it to colour The future I imagined The past year however Broke this spell Cast by shadows That hung over me I don't see the future still But not the past either Anxiousness hasn't become trepidation Nor expectations transformed to fear Something inside me Is beginning her new journey Born from this year of time Lived in today She doesn't have answers But to herself she's now kind As she starts a new journey Of leaving the clock behind

Pottering thoughts

-
A step forward And two behind The words inside my head Were never so kind Doubts and fears are Self-preservation I guess The cacophony in my head Is sometimes a mess The walls in my head And a gilded heart Keeps hurt away Precious protection imparts I peep through the walls To see the world outside Sometimes it gets lonely In a world where only, I reside Introspection on days Gives courage and sight And like Dumbledore said Happiness can be found when you turn on the light
