joy
Night is not fighting day.
Day is not resisting night.
Moon on one side,
Sun on the other,
One going up,
The other down.
Both beautiful.
Words on the sand,
Waves wash them away.
There is no resistance.
Neither force.
Only flow.
Wind brushes leaves gently.
Trees welcome birds.
Peace takes over the day this time,
Not darkness.
Breath is coming in,
Breath is going out,
They shape a smile.
So gentle.
So smooth.
So delicate.
I can feel it—
Almost physically.
Sun soothes my skin.
Music my soul.
Joy is my whole being.
I am just here,
So still, but not stuck.
So death, but alive.
Will I reach my coffee?
It’s getting cold.
My arm reaches—
How gentle,
How soft.
So depressing from outside,
So joyful from inside.
I don’t want to do anything.
Became.
I am not-doing-anything.
Joy has captivated my body.
It doesn’t let me go—
Neither to past,
Nor to future.
Any small move is caught.
This smile is different.
These tears are different.
I close my eyes.
My body dances
Physically.
To its own rhythm.
It is so beautiful.
How could I even describe it?
It’s like watching the most beautiful baby
Being a baby.
I love you.
I am sorry,
I am really sorry
For torturing you.
Forgive me, please.
Please forgive me.
You are so kind,
So kind to me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
I respect you.
I love you.
I will protect you.
