Happiness? What is that?


			Passion for life.
			What a foreign concept that is to me.
			Like the sea:
			Little of interest for such a long time,
			My life ebbs.
			Occasional heights.
			But now,
			As most times,
			I am at low tide.
			I am always wondering: 
			Is there is such a thing as the moon?
			Something that will pull me up?
			Often it seems that there is not - 
			That my heights are just imagined,
			That my life is destined for dullness.
			(It is already there)
