Day In, Day Out, Discern The Solar Halo #poetry


Seek out the place where joy lives

Tucked in a place within you
pure joy overflows
an excellent companion
as seasons come and go
makes every day a good day
spurts of gratitude
you shouldn’t live without it
keeps your soul afloat
love is always the answer
in the day by day
believe, cherish, enjoy it
seek that place of joy
discern the halo in wonted places
incline your heart to them
the next time you go looking
inhale, joy will be there!

and give it a voice far beyond singing.
For to miss the joy is to miss all.”- Robert Louis Stevenson

    Selma, a cascade of joy and positive emotions flood over me as I read your poem, the energy infectious and it’s given me a boost this grey Tuesday morning. Your words encourages us to recognise that joy is always there, tucked away safely, just waiting for us access it.

    ‘ believe, cherish, enjoy it
    seek that place of joy’

    I love the quotes that accompany your poem, reinforcing the power of joy and love and wow, that Rumi quote is amazing! One I’m saving for future reference!
