Jubilant Joy

Jubilant Joy

Soft
Petals
Of divine
Animation
Bloom when joy births bliss 
Jubilant delight in
Ruby radiant clear streams
Then disappears into kindness
To vocalize a portal for hope -
Revelry for souls tormented trials.

Joy’s
Treasure
A frolic
With merriment,
Pure distillation
Of hope’s sweetest nectar,
Solutions for enigmas
A pledge for vaulting elation
Heaven’s child leaps in declaration
To resolve dusk’s sad solitary chords.

It is amazing to me how spring keeps intruding on winter in plum blossoms, daphne blooms, carolina jasmina, crocus and snowdrops that make their presence known even on the coldest days! Jennifer, thank you so much for your message of spring even when you are experiencing autumn! Your lovely note brought spring a little closer! Looks like we are returning to winter with some cold, windy days and frosty nights. Will have to cover our orchids that are beginning to bloom! Blessings - many hugs dear friend!

Michelle, thank you! For me joy is the heart on high octane - bliss on springs! Uncontainable and more infectious than this virus we are fighting. Dolly Pardon once said: "Don't let nobody steal your joy." Great words, hard to do. Writing on the heart of joy renewed my sense of this precious treasure. I am so happy that it put you into a place of joy with dancing shoes and an anticipation of spring!

Greetings Alexis! It is a wonderful experience to contemplate the nature of joy when there are so many events that seem to bring us into a place of despair! So glad you en-"joy"-ed" these two offerings! Makes me :D! Thank you for that bit of joy today. Hoping you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings of joy to you!
