Joy
My spirit feels enlightened.
My body, warmed by the vitality,
And the simplicity,
Of a good day’s laughter.
Such a natural feeling.
Under light it is gilded.
Saintly, it is intrinsic to children.
Yet as synonymous to healing.
A force of nature
Brought on by beauty,
By love, and even by failure.
It shows no frailty.
Joy lies to us not
It shows us new worlds
Our troubles unfurl
As they begin to rot,
And our lives lose their distraught.
