Joy

Oh joy, come in the form of an Avalanche and bury me in your beauty and your grace. Once again, peace has returned to my soul, under blue sky and golden sun, green grass and grey hills. I am whole and healthy and beautiful again.

Oh joy, come into my heart, fill it up and overflow the rim, drive out guilt and fear and sadness, wipe away my sorrow and bring to me the hope and cheer that are so integral to my health.

Oh joy, the wind is chilly and makes me shiver, but inside me is a warmth that cannot die. Burn a fire bright and let me be as I was before, the one with the spark, the one who could multiply joy for all the world to share.

It is a cruel, harsh, discontent society of people with whom we live, but there are those who have experienced light, who have felt joy, who know the spirit of happiness. Let not us few be forsaken, let us be brought together again, that the world may be peaceful and beautiful again. that we may each be cheerful, reinforce cheerfulness and share with each other the gifts we have.

There are many gifts in the world, each has at least one to give. I know I have several! Let me remain whole and healthy and strong and beautiful. I have been charmed, let this charm glow forth.
