Joy (moments in time)

Joy

A simple exchange of words and the world seems brighter
Familiar patterns emerge and I cannot help but smile again
Jokes recalled and that is like a refreshing wave that passes over me

The hope that as much joy was taken from the moment as it gave
The shroud of uncertainty lifted even if you a time to allow her light to shine
Beauty personified in my mind and my eyes, such ease of words and life

Uplifted and walking tall against the backdrop of life once again
Even the winter darkness is not enough to bring this moment crashing down
Joy is given to me as memories are allowed to live once again
