The elusive Raäs

Sometimes I feel I am very very close to eternal happiness
But my time is running out
And I'm not getting there
Then I forget all about it
And get into the groove again

That peace floats in for a short while
It plays with my mind like a naughty infant
It smiles at me elusively with sparkling eyes
Like it knows exactly what I'm thinking
Dances 'round its hide n seek dance
Round and round in magic spiral

Before I have time to smile back
Filled with overwhelming bliss
It leaves me there alone
With only a felicity of joyful music to sway by
And a dreamy haziness
I am alone again.
