Joy

Open

My lips

Let the clouds disappear into foggy artificial play

Artificial play is better than no play - she said

Yes, but what about real joy?

I miss the joy that sits close and wraps around me

And the bright and beautiful joy that draws us near your grandmother’s piano

It lives - he said

With our family, friends, neighbors, and all we all

Within self and with others

It’s shared

It’s transitory

It’s sacred

Joy lives and seeks to be found
