It does not arrive
when you wait for it,
does not answer
to plans or prayers.

Moments of happiness
are not available at all times,
they only present themselves
on the moments
you don't expect them at all-
a laugh in the middle of sorrow,
a breeze through a window
you forgot was open.

It comes quietly,
sits beside you
like an old friend
who needs no words.

You cannot chase it-
only notice
when it chooses
to arrive.
