****SEARCHING FOR JOY****

A lifetime of searching
where the road
meets the horizon

A lifetime of searching
where the thunderous waterfall
meets the glen below

A lifetime of searching
I am standing on the precipice
seeing the blanket of forest
without ever falling

A lifetime of searching &
to behold life; a glimpse of it
seeing each child born

A lifetime of searching
seeing each bud burst into bloom
each leaf unfurl into green

A lifetime of searching
waiting for life to penetrate
barriers of wall
that are enclosing me

A lifetime of searching
yearning for its’ expanse
waiting for the moment

A lifetime of searching
knowing the moment will come
my moment of joy
