Happiness

Unexpected you come and unexpected you leave

Alongside you come sunshine and flowers

Yet behind you like a shadow, is your constant companion

Your kin, who treads silently, never making a sound

He, who comes uninvited, never knocking on doors, but creeping in through cracks

He, the friend of darkness and rain

He, who chases you stubbornly, like a dog chases his own tail

Quite immersed in his folly, is he

Wishing to someday catch you

Brothers and yet, different in every aspect

Never do I cease to hope, that after him will come you, my happiness.

– Ayah Gouda
