Happiness and Drukyuel: a Quest ensured

Happiness and Drukyuel: a Quest ensured


Virtually comatose! Of farm chore
She rest her elbow on a fragile window pane
To the creeping clear dusk circle
Trying to decipher, the language of chirping birds
The melodious calls are clear and timely
She knows what a little bird conveys; a Happiness

Burnt-out! Of weeding the last terrace
She holds high her ailing rough chin
To the resounding prayers of a hermit atop
In reverence, she lowers her gaze in folded palms
To the calls of prayers echoing through the sleeping valley
She knows what an old hermit transmits; a Happiness

Dead beat! Of gathering the firewood
She throws her neck left gently
To the fluttering prayer flags on a gentle hill-slope
In nostalgia, she reminisce her late paramour
To the peaceful messages of her departed soul mate
She knows what he wants to convey an inamorata; a Happiness

Fatigue! Of backbreaking labour at neighbor’s garden
She rest her dust-ridden head on home-made pillow
To the rhythmic late night flute from the farmhouse
In rejuvenation, she coos an old lyric of native singer
To the flawless tone of six-eyed reed instrument
She knows what it spreads at this late hour; a Happiness

Rejuvenated! Of all the peaceful thoughts of live in Drukyuel
She prostrates in gratitude to the God and Monarchs
Hanging from her old beam parallel
  In tears of ecstasy, she chants the prayers of eternal blessings
To an omniscient almighty and an unparallel leadership of kings

She knows what quest they fulfill; the Happiness
