To Happiness

Were you in the east?
I asked for you there
I looked in the desert
In others, in opulence

In the dazzling deep
I found you with the grouper
We played in a reef
But I need air

You caught me in a potting shed
In mopping tiles
In lacing shoes
In sitting here

I'd see you in the east too
And in all shades or corners
If I perceived
From the heart of me
