Joy (poem)

There are moments when I feel my heart has expanded to encompass the whole world. There are moments of completeness. I feel that my heart here accepts everything that this moment has offered and my eyes overflow. I offer my thanks. I am grateful for this joyous experience.

One foot in front of the other
Hands raised to the skies
The rain too is crazy
Moving, dancing by my side
Here we tango, here we salsa
Without touching the ground
Unable to contain ourselves
No shyness or sideway glance

Deep in the valleys
With laughter trailing behind
Runs the river with colors
Stealing the diamonds from the skies
Teasing the shiny sun
We run hand in hand
Unable to contain ourselves
On the fresh, dewy land

Our ears to the earth
Feet taping to distant music
The sound of bare feet dancing
Fingers drumming the humming air
Singing in unison
With the birds, streams and waterfalls
O full of love, we are flowing
Unable to contain ourselves

-Nee
