Side Quest

In the quest for happiness, we roam,
Chasing dreams, seeking a home.
Yet elusive, it slips through our grasp,
Like shadows in the hourglass.

But in the corners of our restless minds,
A different solace, we may find.
Peace, a subtle, steady stream,
In the chaos of life, a tranquil dream.

Happiness, a fleeting butterfly's flight,
Bringing moments of pure delight.
Yet peace, a rock in a raging sea,
A steadfast anchor, where we can be.

So, seek not just the smiles and cheer,
For happiness may disappear.
Make peace with life, its highs and lows,
And happiness in chaos, it bestows.

In the balance of these two, we thrive,
A chance to truly feel alive.
For in the storm, and in the calm,
We find our own unique psalm.
