For Joy

You can’t help but smile

Even though

A voice in the back of your head

Begs you to frown.

 

It’s the sun, glinting off the windows

Whispering that it’s going to be all right.

And even when the wind bites through your skin

There’s a sandy beach somewhere.

 

Jagged cracks still line your beating heart

But there’s a warm glow there too.

And you can feel it.

And you can hear it say that it’s going to be all right.

 

And in this moment,

You’re not sure if the tears forming in your eyes

Are for sorrow

Or for joy.
