Happiness

For me happiness is the calmness of the sea,

Or listening to the buzzing of a bee,

The insects making noise at night,

Resting on the beach with the sunset in sight,

Feeding a hungry dog by the road

Or finding a critical bug in a code,

Finding a good place to sleep when I am high,

Clearing the finishing line of a race after letting out a long sigh,

Getting the bite of a chicken after hours of craving,

Seeing my bank balance after two years of saving,

Having a cigarette​ by the window pane late in the night,

Peace offering through ice cream after a heated fight,

Finding a shade on a sunny afternoon,

Or just stare at flying colorful balloons,

Meeting old friends after a long time,

Projecting the shine of a golden dime,

Getting a place to sit on a crowded train,

Or a childish attempt to outrun a plane,

The smell of earth when it first rains,

Finding solution to a math problem after hours of racking my brains,

Reuniting with known ones after getting lost in a crowd,

Doing something to make my parents proud,

Dance to my favorite song by myself,

Finding old childhood pictures on the top shelf,

Erasing memories of the people I hate,

Securing a chance for a second date,

Sipping a cup of chai in the morning,

Laughing off on a mom's warning,

Following a paper boat along the stream,

Seeing my loved one in every dream....
