I’ve never felt this way before,
You’ve brought out of me
A hopeful, joyful being,
Someone so different from
Who I was before,
A new person
Unafraid of life and bounding
Forward with courage and hope,
Floating on air.
I feel safe in your arms,
You’e the one for me,
My one and only,
My reason to be,
My true love forever.
I am the karaoke singing lady,
in the car, at the stop light
and in the shower.
I sing without a microphone
howling at the moon,
listening to my favorite tune.
Welcome back to summer,
ice cream on hot days,
watermelon isn’t just a phase.
Hot dogs on a grill,
Ice tea gives me a chill.
When I sit on a place motionless shuttering my eyes
Confining the errand thoughts in a flower named lotus
Amid flapping lashes, my eyes begin to fly with the clouds
Searching a piece of land away from clutter and sounds
Where my rumpled heart can open to the joy
And smoothen into a serene blue sky
Where my ruffled mind can peter out
And refresh into vast dunes of sand
Where the solemn face of my silent soul break into smiles
Where it can stop wandering, transcend into tranquil trance.
Toss a stone into a pond,
watch the circles grow.
Grab a silver ring from the
merry-go-round of life.
Whistle into the wind,
let vibrations run through you.
Skip along a walkway,
let giggles emerge.
Put aside your chores,
let the daily grind rest.
Time and time again
we miss the modicums of joy.
