This...is...joy

I am rejoiced
Returned to joy
And Joy giving way to joy
Rejuvenated by its employ
Rich in its karma
Beyond drama and this side of tragedy
Jaded and ragged
Spent and tested
But a god blessed it,
This joy…
I am jubilant
Succulent if not humbled
By the greatest that shines through
Golden ole life true
Wicked and silly
Proud to be
Radiant life he has given me
I am hopeful
Yet my courage bleeds
In the tree of life
Merely a seed
I am thankful
For rain and thunder
Thankful
For comforters to climb under
Thankful for paper and the words to write
Thankful for prayers that test patience and mite
I am rejoiced
Returned to joy
And joy giving way to joy
Rejuvenated by its employ
Rich in its karma
Beyond drama and this side of tragedy
Jaded and ragged
Spent and tested
But a god blessed it, no doubt
This…
Is …
Joy…
