Joy

In the heart, there’s a joy,  
How do I convey this feeling?  
Have you ever seen dolphins leap,  
Or the regal flight of eagles soaring high in the sky?

Joy is an experience,  
Etched on the walls of the heart,  
Sometimes it arrives as the beauty of a rose,  
At other times, a jasmine’s fragrance that entwines within,  
Or a sparkle in the eyes, emerging from the heart.

What is life without joy?  
What is a fish’s existence without water?  
What is the sweet melody of waves without the ocean?  
As time flows, joy never sits still.

"Joy is an experience, Etched on the walls of the heart, Sometimes it arrives as the beauty of a rose, At other times, a jasmine’s fragrance that entwines within." Can't dispute the statement. Joy is like the beauty of a rose or the fragrance of jasmine and more. It is an experience felt in the heart and a feeling that runs through the blood.
