I do not know why
it is much easier to write
about unhappy things-
feelings of loss, resentment,
maybe even meaninglessness.
It is difficult to capture
the full magnitude of happiness,
it is fleeting, fluttering at your fingertips
and ready to take flight
before you attain
it. Light, too, behaves the same way.
It is no rocket science, to know
that the speed of light, cannot be surpassed.
(I find solace in concrete facts like this)
We try, try and try
to be of speed, but surprise!
It cannot be done. Joy
cannot be entirely possessed, its
greatness, rareness, muchness
can never be contained, but
it's always there, there, there.
