Inn of the Sixth Happiness
I looked for it
In urban sprawls
Glitzy malls with food-
Skied in the snow, trekked to thundering
Swan in lakes, rowed in moonlit falls rivers
Stayed in homestays for the local flavour.
But where was it?
Where was the key to this inn of the sixth happiness?
I returned home weather beaten, sad, failed.
A strange thing happened
When all anxiety, frustration dissolved,
I found it in me!
I had only to plunge inwards to reach it.
Sure it was beyond thought and feeling.
I opened the humble inn
And slept on the hardest of beds
like a baby.
