Joy

Joy rises with the colors of the sun Captured when you don't run Joy blooms with the lone flower in leaves, Soothing one's soul that grieves Joy is shared with laughter and smiles Carried by the breeze for miles and miles Joy resides in truth, safety and being free Following your instincts, for a purpose to be A completion grown from talents, not mystery - The sacrifice and ability to see - Heidi Sands 9/29/23

a delightful and 'joy'ful read, Heidi I love your rhyme scheme--it flows naturally and isn't contrived. I agree, joy resides in truth. Well said! Sara
