Jude Herrick Poet Ode

Joy

              
                  Joy, are you nothing more than a marker, 

             a road sign, 
             
designating an already known realization, 
of being on the right path, 


           the main path to righteousness?

               When I can clearly feel it, 
           see it, 
        know it.
Thank you Captain obvious!
                                                   Do you have an app 
that tells me I am reading from an app, 
just as I am reading it,           too?
Got any mirrors?

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry.
Now, you're making ME cry?!

You can continue 
your virtue signalling 
with my blessing.

Silent One December 10, 2023 at 12:25 PM If joy is a marker, how do we measure it? cant be easy, right? Joy is different to many of us.. some get joy from a comment, some from getting a trophy.. me personally i count my blessings and get joy everytime I wake up.. Really enjoying your poems today Jude..
