in the beginning was joy

joy opens
your hands
each morning

and at noon
when you find your arms
rising

as if the sun-sprinkled dust carried them
upward

what is it
that lifts your palms
like pollen
forcing your petals apart

what is this
joy

this
never-ending
beginning

Devika--I hope you can keep this feeling and bring it to life when you need a lift!

Lorraine--Wow, you deserve to live with joy, and wishing for it is the first step--and then to follow where it leads...

ofcourse...poems can do that to me, and yours...i can't say how much, :)

but i think days that i need a lift is becoming less and less for one reason or other....there are so many to be lifted, better to think of them than focusing on ourselves :)

wishes,

I have done that for 42 years...and broke, I have given everything i am everything I had...and there's not much left to give....you seem to think Dev, that a person cannot suffer if she is considerate and helpful towards others...you are wrong

crossed that stage and known the love of God, Lorraine....and moveover, i don't like my life to be so much of my comfort :)

and people, often only need your kind words..a little time to hear them....they know i don't have anything big to offer and i feel good about that...though i can't remove all their worries :)

you are talking to a little social servant, Lorraine...and who does all those small liitle things possible for her own satisfaction...as you said in your post today, i request you, my friend...leave me alone with that :)

wishes,
devika

And yes, I agree with you...One who is the most caring, may be hurt the most...when that happens I leave the world and turn to God and my family :)
