the expression
of a deep emotion
full of
pleasure
and exultant
happiness
with
SOMETHING
for me it was:
the moment I held my children
for the first time
and the moments
of all their firsts
words, smiles, steps, giggles
and the first time
I managed to handle
both feet and both hands
involved in the rhythm
of drumming!
and the moment
I met my husband
and KNEW
that he was MINE
always, for the long haul
and always
when I find
a rhythm and a flow
with words
in poetry
or another writing
and FEEL its goodness
and EVERY time
I look at my FIRST tattoo
but ALL of them too
and I KNOW
that the expression
of MYSELF
IS
JOY!!!
