“In Pursuit of Happiness”

Searching high and low,
for something on which his heart can grow.
Running from pillar to post,
His frantic search just gets worse;
his search for bliss,
his pursuit of happiness…

Knee deep in his efforts,
he knows he’s inching closer to his ambitions.
Admired by many, envied by plenty.
Yet he wonders why true joy eludes him.
Why can’t he feel the ecstasy of being alive?
Why can’t he feel the divine connection?
He seems lost, lost in his way towards happiness.
Who is he?
He’s an expression of all, he’s an expression of me.

But something slowly changes.
He grows; he feels; he starts nurturing the divine.
Starts seeking joy in the ordinary.
He knows he’s unique.
He never was before, he never will be again.
He’s stardust, he’s golden.
He’s loved, he’s known.
Now it’s time for him to know himself.
