Joy


Created by Kjpargeter - Freepik.com

Why should you dance like nobody is watching?
She asks these questions so unexpectedly
Do you do it just to be wicked on a dance floor?

I respond to the child
Hesitantly in little dance steps of my own
It’s not about substance and style I say.

There is a lesson to learn in act of
Dancing like a possessed person
Whirling like a Dervish in a trance.

That lesson is a joyous feeling
That lies supressed inside us all
Yearning to escape outside.

It is the joyous feeling you get
When you open your eyes and notice
The beauty that lies all around you.

It is the joyous feeling you get
When you touch the world with love
No matter wherever you go

It is the joyous feeling you get
When you open your heart and invite
Others inside to share your love.

It is the joyous feeling you get
When you realise that
Gratitude is the gift that keeps on giving.

So child when you move with abandon
You stop worrying about what people think
You open your heart and let it sing.

Today it is 'J' for 'Joy'.

My challenge for April is to write poetry. 
My A to Z entries can be navigated to from this page - A2Z, I will be very pleased if you managed to take some time out to read and comments on the poems.

I'd love read what you think about this post...
