A lovely poem. I do not have much knowledge of poetry, but what makes me truly happy is a piece of work well completed. Then I agree with Dipankar, tranquility, the felling of completeness within yourself. Swastha - swa meaning yourself and asti being established. Ravi

Reading this didn't bring sunshine to my life, but it certainly made my lips spread into a smile. Not a grin, just a smile and possibly a sigh, paradoxically enough. This is not a haiku I know, but somewhere in it I detected the flavour of a haiku. Or else, why should I be reminded of this classic haiku?
"Tranquility Walking alone Happy alone."
It's hard for me to describe precisely how much I enjoyed reading your poem. I liked it so much because I understood it. I admit that I have to learn a lot about poetry and my understanding/perception is not always the way it should be. But I keep trying.
