My joy is made from –

The warming sound of laughter,

A trickling waterfall dropping into a pool of happy memories,

The silent smiles sending happiness across dull faces,

A sunset falling behind miles of ocean

And the smoothing ,melting taste of chocolate.

I found it –

Let loose in my heart wild and free,

When a gleaming light in the shape of my family fills my dark hole,

Where a shadow ends and breaks into sunshine,

Waiting for my mind to stop and take a break

And whispering excitement into my ear.

My joy can –

Dry tears with just one word,

Send loving memories into my brain,

Flip darkness to light,

Sooth anyones hopeful cry’s

And pull broken pieces back together like a magnet,

If I lost my joy –

I wouldn’t be half the person I am now

And life would be a lonely tear.
