Challenge of the Week CVII
Happiness. The ever-elusive state in which we all strive to linger. Write about the pursuit or experience of happiness. Perhaps it's an illusion. Perhaps it's a character who finds happiness in an unlikely place. Perhaps it'll be the simplest thing you'll ever write, or perhaps the most difficult. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Happiness
Why are you so elusive?
Leaving me pensive.
How can I connive?
To make you arrive.
Let’s stay together,
Why can’t I tether,
You to linger,
In all weather.
What a mess,
Seeking happiness,
And if I press,
Then there is more stress.
Your absence,
Filled in the silence,
With the brilliance,
That left with me with essence.
There is guidance,
For radiance,
Find your defiance,
For any other alliance.
Now I know,
Why you left me low,
I would follow,
To find the rainbow.
