Life is full of feelings, but there’s one that all will seek,
When found it fills will brightness, in its absence all is bleak, It overflows from one and fills up others from the leak, Symptoms include smiling eyes and mouths stretched cheek to cheek, Infecting like a virus, contact causing it to spread, Inside it charges to the source, direct to heart and head, To grow and multiply, it is itself the food from which it’s fed, Exponentially expanding soon feeds other heads instead. Alone the feeling dissipates soon after it is found, It’s hard to hold and rare to tame, won’t suffer being bound, To keep it one needs others overflowing all around, To share the spread, and stay afloat, not sinking back to ground, Accept the gifts that other give and send them back in kind, For giving gives the best reward, creates a glowing mind, Glows with joy and peace and care, all pieces intertwined, The feeling fills up hearts and minds, what all searching seek to find. But searching far and farther does not further the reward, The feeling hides near everywhere, but mostly stays ignored, It takes a little patience to look past what at first seems flawed, To look within and share belief, reveal the hidden hoard. The feeling first seems fickle when it’s fought to be retained, It cannot spread and grow when it is selfishly detained, It needs to share, to give and get eternally sustained, In the end, the feeling found, it’s happiness you’ve gained.
