My Happy Place………………

In search of my happy place,

I look all around, I keep asking,

Where do you think could it be?

Can it be in the smile of others?

Can it be in my dreams unknown?

Can it be in those places untouched?

Can it be in the pearly dewdrops?

Can it be in the cold waves?

Can it be in the shiny moonlight?

Can it be in the far future?

I had no answer and I wondered why?

Is it my imagination,

Or is it real,

For I see a happy place in each living,

A place where they could be free,

Or is it residing deep down inside me.

Where is my happy place?

Where can it be?

I have looked far and beyond,

Still looking, I don’t know for how long,

Time seems to have stretched,

For I am standing on the road,

Standing all alone….

Speaking to myself,

 “Have I found my happy place yet?

Have I known where I really belong?"
