Lexicon of Delight

Have you seen what is coming to our lives?
A veritable cornucopia 
of delights
   Angels of all kinds
   Kings 
   Queens
Dancers, acrobats, performers
    If life asks you to be happy
    then be happy!
A lexicon of delight 
    Awaits you at the 
end of the road
    a grey sky 
can never destroy 
      the sunlight within

I smile as I read the last 6 lines, Matt. Quite often people ask why I smile so often..even when the storm rages, I'm bathed in sunlight! Beautiful poem you've written. Love, Annalise
