Joy

Ecstasy

Inside my being

A bubbling brook

Chattering sparrows

The joy of the first crocus

The warm blush of the sun

The beauty of a brooding sunset

Deep within the shadows of my mind

There is a desire and longing for rest

To slip from this mortal world

Recline within white clouds

And to leave this land

For one more gentle

Most welcoming

Less demanding

Encompassing

Eternal

Sleep

Joy
