An encounter withJoy

On a horseback in the rain

While navigating through varied terrain

One encounters Joy

Like you are are one with everything

On foot on a mountain trail

In the ocean as the sun sets

And horizon turns orange

The eyes did not deceive

One encounters Joy

And witness nature's beauty

Like it's never seen before

Alone or with a peer

Sitting in a car or a train

Immersed in silence or melody

One encounters Joy that tears flow freely

In a church after communion

At home while doing chores

In a restaurant, after a bite of bread

Joy is there to encounter

Surprising you like no other
