We crave for happiness
and search it everywhere
in people, places and inconspicuous things
this turns our heart into an impregnable fortress
where expectations crumble and agony beckons.
Happiness is a state of mind
fed on love and compassion
it needs to be nurtured, cultivated and nourished consistently within, Like an opaque mirror needs polishing to shine brightly.
What if our lives were devoid of expectations?
no need to please
just thoughts, words, deeds for company
a smile to put our grief to sleep.
No past to trespass
no future to worry about
just savor the moments
and bask in its glory
life is in the now
so live it to the fullest.
