Misplaced happiness

Crazily when you chase it

it gets scared and hides

in the unseen nooks and crevices

of your ignorant brain

Let it follow you

through that smile on the face

of your mother who is getting older everyday

or through the hot meal on the table

which is no less a miracle of sorts

or through the shelter that your home

affords to you

or when the love of your life

gives you a hug

in the middle of the night

or when a drop of sweat

adorns your forehead

after a day of hard work

or when a sole flower blooms

out of nothingness

on your way to work…

After misplacing happiness

You have been looking at

all the wrong places.
