Joy is something you have to find
I see poetry in the shadows on the sidewalk
And in the names of streets I walk past,
Just taking a moment to breathe.
I hear joy with every step I take,
The charms I have filled every key ring with singing their tune.
They match their rhythm to mine.
Happiness isn’t permanent,
It’s an action and a choice.
It’s hidden in the gust of wind that dances right by,
Gently caressing you and tossing your hair,
And choosing to giggle in time with its lazy sway.
Satisfaction is found after
After you listen to its melody
After you feel it around you
After you see the kindness of life
Satisfaction is not something to seek
But joy is, happiness is
One has to create the life they need
Satisfaction follows
