Happiness is a cruel mistress in how she comes quickly and goes without warning... We should just enjoy it and not disrupt it while it lasts.... wonderful write.

This is a poem of loss and sorrow simply told and direct. Love which was once taken for granted and lost then becomes valued - a human defect. Enjoyable. Understandable I liked it.

I agree with you that at times even if we desire to be happy we miss the chance to be as it eloped with the unseen wind. But happiness will always come when we have faith in our heart when we wait for its light and grace take care and more power, melvin
