Even when you get there, have you arrived?

 

If Happiness Has a Sound



It is a stream

running on its pebble bed;


exultation: a waterfall

diving off a cliff;


contentment: a river

strolling through the fields;


achievement: an ocean

hammering on its chest.


And still, the stream is starving,

the waterfall lost,


the river homeless

and the ocean despairing,


seeing the glimmer of the unattainable

on all its horizons.
