Happiness

A paycheck every month
Lasting till the 29th - two days of agony, then ecstacy
Happiness once a month.

Upto 12000 one, crashing all over the place the next
Fortunes swinging, this way to the other
Speculative happiness.

Hard earned pots of gold
Spent on wheels, driven 5000 miles albeit
Second hand happiness.

A match made in heaven
At $800m for each meandering
Alimony happiness.

Driving endurance to the very edge
Challenging milestones, overcoming the mind
End achieved - Happiness achieved.

Diving down a cliff
Leaving prejudice behind,
At one with the self, At one with Him,
The body cutting through the wind, or the soul dissolving in it?
Pristine... Pure... Happiness.
