Joy Works Wonders

Joy fills my heart with easy wit;
I learn to start to sense what fits.

Joy comes to me to flood new play;
Feel I set free to shape new say.

Joy gains a trust in ideas styled;
I know I must forge a fine smile.

Joy shapes each word to sway and touch;
Music is heard -- sure feel as such.

Joy floods blessings of grace and light;
Wise addressing now prompts new sights!

Joy shapes my days with profound feel;
I own my say: sign words that heal.

Joy simply plays with day and night;
I look and stay on happy sights!

Joy is my soul in ecstasy;
I feel most whole in harmony!

Joy delights now with ample wit;
Love does endow puzzles that fit!

Joy is my play as moments fling;
I know the way to reap fine things.

Joy cheers my heart, stills wants and needs;
Faith and hope start to find love's seed.

Joy brings me truth to see things clear;
I live sure proof in heart sincere.

Joy helps me voice pure heart that sings;
I make a choice to fill pulse strings.

Joy weaves a spell wholesome and wise;
I learn to tell soul's sure surprise!

Joy lives deeply in tender grace;
Heals completely poise, pulse and face!

Joy comes to free my shackled chains;
Yes, I now see beyond mind-brain!

Joy steers each day beyond quick-fix;
Beyond this clay, a wholesome mix.

Joy fills my heart with flame and fire;
Love simply starts -- true light inspires!

Joy does a lot for you. Good set of rhyming couplets.

Dear Robert: I have a habit of writing stray verses on the blank pages in front and at the back of a newly acquired book that I like. The page/s look so bare. So I sit and scribble random thoughts that come to mind. This work happened in late January when I was reading a best-selling book titled The Power of Now. And I thought of sharing Joy with the community. I write it as it comes. Leon

Leon this is very cleverly done i particularly like "Feel I set free to shape new say." but i guess that is the thing we most have to be aware of the we don't shape new say in too extravagant a way...love it none the less Huberta
