He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise
William
Blake
__________________________
It comes to us
Almost intangible at times
Call it what you will
Joy
Love
Hope
There it is
And we grasp and grab
Seeking to hug the moment
The feeling
The person
To ourselves
Ah we are such fools!
What if the disciples at Pentecost
When the wind of the Spirit had roared
Had rushed to shut the windows
Seeking to capture
To own
To control
Stale air
I do not know
I fear, how to let the joy fly
Unbound
it is there in a lingering look
a touch
a smile
let it simply arrive
and be
