What is Joy?

What is Joy?
look it up
and recognize
a word may have multiple meanings
joy seems to have more
than maybe any looked up before
joie de vivre
joy of life
en français
perhaps the most descriptive
of what joy really is
how we feel it
express it
may be from our life experiences
some feel it internally
some exude it and shine
be yourself
all the time
all is fine
joy is a way of living
a core resonance that is felt
along with peace and with love
it is what we’re made of

Sanctify Your Presence

Sanctify Your Presence
sanctify
sanctify your own presence
you are unique
you carry your gifts
gifts to be shared
by living aware
your presence is beholden
as an aspect of God
unified and blessed
to do at His request
what you are bidden
as Love
to simply know and accept
and honour this aspect
to understand is not required
it is like you have been hired
as part of a league
to help those in need
God’s messengers
of Love

Candle Lesson

Candle Lesson
a flickering flame
is the name of the game
a wick too long
catches a breeze from the surround
with its whispering song
the gentle impact of sound
a short wick would have missed
