I am not far away

a poem by Shah Pravinchandra Kasturchand

I am not sure when I asked me;
‘I want to see the happy guy.’
But I started to locate him;
On earth, in sea and up in sky.

On earth all were in warring;
The list of sorrows was long;
I compared it with list mine;
I had none to which I belong.

In sea, there was not a soul;
In sky, there was not a soul;
I wanted to locate happy guy?
I found I was the happiest guy.

We search outside; fools we are!
Things within we search so far.
