Joy
Every poem has a song to sing
A thought to dream
A memory to wish through and share
Every moment has a hope to bring
Lyrics to repeat
Melodies to sync
And I wonder
How I survived this long
Without hearing the twists
And turns
And whispers of this song
Its love
Pouring down over me
Adjusting the way I breathe
Shaping forth the moments
When voices lived in joy
So I choose
To breathe it in
Suck it into my pours and laugh
Relax both shoulders
Bend both knees
Stretch out my back and live
Today I choose
Joy
