Happiness

Reaching out
falling short
slipping through
my grasp

An eclipse
hides the sun
just when
the rays
were breaking 
through the gloom

A mirage
shimmering 
in front of me
then vanishing
just when 
parched lips
longed 
to be drenched

Happiness
a vision
that tantalises
then eludes
just when
it looked
within reach
