joy is a charming guest
a surprising bypasser
the most free bird
that you can easily coax
into your table,
easily persuade
to stay the night -
but only if you take it seriously
only if you determinedly choose
to make it clear that
in all this chaos
it’s the most precious guest.
most adored visitor you could have
for joy will listen to you,
it’ll flit to the palm of your hand,
it’ll step over your threshold,
it’ll make itself at home,
it’ll make a nest
into your thoughts
and slowly its song
will fill the house that you are
but only, only
if you take
it seriously
