Joy – A Poem
joy can be elusive
hiding behind a forest
or thoughts, or mindsets
encrusted with the familiar
it peeks through
like sunlight through
tree limbs, leaves, crackling branches
on a windy day
downpours can drown out its expression
yet it is always behind
the veil of temporal space
joy is in my heart
and lives in the gut, the blood,
the brain cells
buzzing with the energy of eternity
dancing with the flowers
their piercing and luscious scents
it is contagious
and passes through fingertips
and quarter note tones
and spices of flavorful
food for the senses
and bodies and souls
that long for the purist nourishment
that joy alone provides
which reminds me
we must feed our joy
so it is strong enough
to sustain the hurricanes
and man-made missives of destruction
and grow new limbs and leaves
and more joy
much more …
