Happiness is a long distant memory
Villanelle about longing for those happier days
Happiness is a long distant memory
That grows smaller, that stays further.
It doesn’t hop up on the train, unmoving history.
Unlike that moving bicycle with no trajectory,
Mindless riding with friends and with laughter;
Happiness is a long distant memory.
Like those clouds that pass with serenity
And lazy friends lay on the grass, which neither
Hop on the train because it’s history.
History is friendships not seen in a century.
Friendships first believed will last forever,
And happiness is a long distant memory.
Those precious moments with friends who heavily,
Remind me of those lovers who don’t bother
To hop up on the train, betraying history
I can’t seem not to stare, my eyes wearily,
Trying to reach a fading warmth that is colder
Of happiness from a distant memory
Which didn’t hop up on the train, unmoving history.

They say pictures say more than 1000 words. But what is the closest physical thing that can understand and express the soul itself? To me, words are the nearest thing. The soul and nature are connected. With my writing, I explore their bond
