What is happiness?

Forgiveness is stronger than revenge.
Whoever seeks advice from Death
will not become a comic hero.
Perhaps happiness is communication
with the smile of a mute dawn,
whose voice is silently beautiful.

Here Time is cynical and false,
as we grow, we will destroy ourselves,
while Carlson returns to the rooftops.
Perhaps happiness is two syllables:
we breathe because we truely love,
we are alive because we breathe.

Science is frightened by the Afterlife,
Art is more wonderful than a fakir,
it saves those who fly into the flame.
Perhaps happiness is the capability
with a story, an image, or a song
to leave a piece of the heart as a memory.

The task is to find a vocation,
but the arrows don’t sleep along the way,
the results are in the imperishable Tablet.
Perhaps happiness is awareness
of the reasons for one’s fall to the Earth,
where everyone serves the Universe.

The desire for Unity leads us
to Paradise; the terrain is twofold,
but every path is useful.
Perhaps happiness is the ability
not to think of happiness in a banal way,
but to see only God everywhere.
