Happiness

Because the sun was producing a faint glimmer of light
and I heard the nest of birds that rested on a branch near my window
chirping peacefully in the slightly cold wind ---
they stopped shortly after i stepped out the door
but it was enough to understand that not all good things last forever--

and because this morning
when i went down the stairs into the pitch black darkness
to meet with what people call the depth and source of knowledge,
to understand his opinion on who really controls emotions,

and because I stood there stranded in a maze
with only a faint circular shaped light which changed colors, 
as i reached the end i felt joy arise,
the ball suddenly changed to a yellow, 
exiting this complication of life had filled me with joy,
immediately it hit me i was all alone now--

and because i was alone i squinted at the ball,
something unimaginable had happened,
the truth had hit me i am the ball of light and i control my own emotions, 
i lived my life knowing that the only thing i had to seek, 
was happiness
