Breath of Life
Happiness... where are you that I can't find you?
I've been fighting,
All my life to find you
But I don't know where you are.
Happiness... I need to find you.
I know that you are present in the great emotions,
I know that you are also present in the little ones,
In the simple things in life.
But why happiness?
If I know where you are
And as much as I want you and look for you,
I can't find you?
Happiness... I often feel that you are very close to me.
But suddenly Happiness,
Like a broken crystal,
I see you disappearing in particles of infinite pain.
In front of you gigantic intruders
Don't let me reach you...
Disappointment, anguish and the pain of longing,
That always takes you far, far away from me.
But, Happiness, I know that one day
I won't need to look for you anymore.
I know that one day, Happiness...
You are the one who will find me.
At home. London, January 1990
