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

Saintlihood

Saintlihood 
have you ever felt the essence
of having been saintly
of pure caring for others
with no sense of self?
aware of a sadness in others
of some degree of suffering
perhaps simply giving support
in silence
with a hug, touch or a word
feel into this level
of being the other
knowing your own fullness
can infill their needs
being joyous and loving
a vibrant presence of living
in that awareness of connection
and what it’s derived of
derived of love

Extrapolate

Extrapolate
extrapolate from our journeys
the curve and the trends
yet can we ever predict
what’s around the next bend?
one thing for sure is
we know there’ll be change
and with our focus on love
it will be fun to rearrange
all that was
