Haiku- Happiness

What is happiness?

Is it long bouts of laughter,

giving lots of love?

Can you grabble it?

Can you catch it in a flask?

Or is it just free.

Does it run and hide

when hard times come to pass by?

Or is it stronger.

What is happiness?

Do you hold the key to it?

Is it even locked up.

Can it be locked up?

Is it to vast to contain?

Like a flowing stream.

Can you lose it all?

Can it vanish in thin air?

Is it forever gone?

Can you retrieve it,

if you try your best at it?

Will it soon come back?

What is happiness?

The memories of the past,

hopes of the future?

Will I ever understand

the truth that lies in the word?

Is it a secret?

No, it is within.

It is within ones own self. 

That is happiness.
