Eduard Asadov — What Is Happiness?
https://t.me/stihotvorSo, what is that happiness, people?
Ones answer, “It is to be mingled
With cards, alcohol and flirtations –
And all kinds of tempting sensations.
The others have beatitude’s vision
In money and higher position:
In flattering ‘kindly’ permitted,
And awe of the workers submitted.
The thirds think that it is in actions
Reflecting the perfect relations:
Sweet kindness, good care, attention
And general hearts’ comprehension.
The fourths think that it’s just advises
To meet with your dear sunrises,
To tell her your love and your favor
And go together forever.
And sometimes the meaning is longing
That it is the permanent burning:
The job, dreams and searching enlivened,
The pair of the wings for the heaven!
I think that in all enterprises,
Has happiness different sizes:
From peaks to a lowest mound,
Depending from people around.
