Joy

I searched for joy in places near and far

I left no stone unturned

But joy it ran like a speeding car

And all my efforts spurned

I thought I'd find it in my things

In exciting adventures

In all the things that shine and bling

In fortune fame and treasure

Perhaps I'd trap it in a Winter drift 

Or in February, May or September

Maybe it will be a gift

I get in a day in October

The more I tried, the more I failed

For joy could not be caught

I shouted loud and cajoled and hailed

Seemed like with me it fought

One day I left that battle field

And blended in with nature

With no expectation of any yield

Or fear of any failure

And then I sensed it all around

Joy always exists

It's not a thing that can be found

Within you it just is.

The Bliss of You

The word I chose for 2014 was Joy so it's only fitting to end the year with a poem that depicts Joy or the Bliss of God.

Sing that song you sang to me

That intoxicated my heart many millennia ago

Sing that song you sang to me

That made my heart overflow

Play the melody you played to me

That enticed my spirit and bound me close to you

Play the melody you played to me

That sparked a love so true

Dance that dance you danced with me

That exhilarated my soul through time and space

Dance that dance you danced with me

With cosmic swirls and perfect grace

For when you sing and play and dance

The Universe hums in harmony

And souls then sing and play and dance

And peace prevails consciously

For joy is the essence of your creation

And joy is the way to eternal life

For joy is your blessing for all creation

And joy is the way to your side.

~x~
