PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS



pursuit of happiness may end up in
pursuit of excellence, sense may 
sprout, in seeking the meaning 
of life, while you are awake as well
asleep, though the presence of mind
never go bereft of sensory body thine.
Oh soul, the bearer of light unto body,
Go awake go awake seek not thee
Another body and another time
To marvel what it could be like
To bear more of body
That thwarts thee
with grime and glee
