The toys in the shop
Beckoned me to them
Promising me worlds
Unseen at home
Tantrums aplenty
Heartburns even more
I sought happiness
In things with allure
Toys changed form
Replacing what had just gone
And yet there was something more
That seemed beyond my zone
With wheels on my feet
I ran helter-skelter
Gathering and amassing
The more, the better
And I sought for things
Better and better!
And yet I felt
No contentment ever
Why should I?
When I deserve the best
And for things choicest
Continued my quest
Never a pause
Never a thought
Eyes seeking
Not shutting even after I got
I pause and look back
I think in wonder
Did I really journey
On those paths yonder?
Holding them to me
I don't remember
Did they make me happy?
I ask and ponder
I close my eyes
Let my mind wander
Searching keenly
For an answer
And then I sink
Into a state of bliss
Joyful and fresh
Like the first kiss
Nothing, no thing
In silence golden
Just me and myself
To nothing beholden
I find my fount
Sweet and everlasting
A tap I tap
To quench my thirsting
Nectar flows through my veins
I reach my end and thank my gains
Knowing this, I fly free
In pure happiness and unbridled glee.
