the Importance of Joy
Joy enthusiastically circles me
I jump in the air, attempting to touch her
She dances a merry step
Slightly out of touch, laughing at my efforts
The trees watch and snicker
Their leaves flickering silver and green
Understanding better than I
Joy is more important than we will ever know
For when we are gone, joy is gone
Hope is buried, for without one there cannot be the other
The wind and I stare at the trees
Understanding the importance of joy
