"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." ~ Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat


I set sail

Looking for

Something that

I knew not. 


I knew not

If I would 

find the joy 

Others had found. 


Others had found

Wonderful things

Their faces were

Seen with these

Joyful smiles


Joyful smiles

I wanted

A part of

For myself


For myself…

Possibly

That’s why I

Didn’t find it 


Didn’t find it

For so long

I felt like

I was lost


I was lost

And that’s how

I found it… 

Happiness


Happiness

Is not found

In greed or

Selfishness


Selfishness

Brings nothing

But kindness

Brings that joy


Brings that joy 

That I saw

On the faces

Of the kind


Of the kind

Whom I had 

Become after 

I set sail 


I set sail

Looking for

Something that

I knew not. 


I returned

Home with joy

And kindness

With a dream


With a dream

To spread this

New kindness

Around the world


Around the world

You can spread

And discover

Happiness


Too
