"happiness"?

Sometimes I ponder about what will come next

Where will my life turn when it seems to stall?

When is the next time I will smile again?

and how will I get up, should I fall?

Happiness fills me with a touch of sadness.

By that I mean I know it can't last.

Beauty decays, laughter subsides

When will the stones be cast?

Tragedy can be measured

by the amount of happiness taken away

Elusion is our only protection

As we fall victim to its prey

So when I've reached a fork in life's road

and the choices are many or few.

I follow the one that leads away from misfortune

Thats all I can really do

When life is good

You have to hold it in your hand

You have to close your eyes

You have to breathe it in!

Happiness may end

While tragedy begins

Today is the beginning

Is tomorrow the end?
