Array ( [sid] => 108613 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => But We'd Rather [time] => 2005-10-28 00:49:45 [hometext] => We'd rather do lots of things. But what if we found that they hurt us? [bodytext] => If we break our lives down
They break into this:
A search for lasting happiness
A search for lasting bliss.

Some people enjoy best the present
Right now’s fleeting joys, no matter how potent
In somebody else’s arms is the place to be
There, cloaked in the throes of ecstasy.

For others, happiness is in their work
For they possess patience’s quirks
Who find joy in the journey, joy in the hardship
For them, all of life is just…another trip.

Even less treat happiness as an unlooked-for surprise
One of the little things that brings light to their eyes
Life, death, neither makes a difference;
Experience to them is just a biased inference.

As for ideas, here’s yet another;
Happiness doesn’t exist, but we’d just d’ruther
Say that it does.
But……if there is no such thing like that here
Then why would the lack of it bring any fear? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 13 [informant] => ChibiMiroku [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

But We'd Rather

We are always searching for happiness, and sometimes we look too far from the source and that is why some may never find it

I think this is a great way everyone is in search of happiness that once upon atime that heavens bliss. happiness is more a state of mind than somthing that comes from those stories when we all where kids it is not somthing that is given it is more somthing for us to soulsearch ourselves to find.
this poem shows the searching everyone has done and very well written,aprilrose
