The map...

 

The direct path

So-called sometimes

Is often not direct..

There are compromises

With separation's demands

Allowing the separate self

Just a little longer..

With a lofty goal

Disguising happiness

That directional self

Plays victim to a map of 

Enticements..

Impossible it seems to

Recognize happiness as

The map and all...

In reality, it is not the separate self that searches for happiness or returns to its natural, relaxed condition. It is the pull or memory of its natural state that calls the separate self back to its innate condition of fully relaxed, inherently peaceful awareness.
