The Joy of breathing 

The joy of speaking – 

Through poetry or tears. 

The joy that confronts the solitaire 

The joy of exaggerating the pain 

The joy that many contain. 

This joy of being aware

Acknowledges the Joy of myself: 

A polyphony resounding within 

And through. This is the Joy of yourself

That no world substitutes.
