The Eternal Quest

Happiness is a passing thing

For a fleeting moment it is there

But gone in an instant

Vanished into thin air

Doing things to bring you joy

Yet it is gone in a moment

A shadow of memory

Then back to your lament

In search of happiness

A quest for your soul

Which will never end

You can never be whole

A continuous cycle

The endless quest

Which can only end

With the peace of eternal rest.
