My Heart Jumps For Joy
Morning arrived dressed in pale shades of gold
Something inside me no longer felt cold
Birdsong came spilling through half-open blinds
Pulling fresh light through the dark of my mind
For once no sorrow sat heavy or near
No ghost of regret whispering in my ear
Only excitement alive in my chest
Wild as a creature refusing to rest
My heart jumps for joy at the simplest things
Warm cups of coffee and bright early spring
Laughter that rises without any strain
Soft little moments untouched by pain
The sky looked impossibly clear after rain
People passed smiling and waved in my lane
Even the wind seemed alive with delight
Carrying sweetness through fresh morning light
Perhaps happiness lives quiet and small
Hidden in ordinary pieces of all
Not grand fairy tales or impossible dreams
Just peace flowing softly between daily scenes
I used to believe joy would never stay long
That life was only surviving the wrong
Now I hold tightly each beautiful part
Like fragile bright glass around my heart
If sorrow returns as it sometimes may do
At least I have memories honest and true
Proof even damaged souls still can enjoy
The trembling wonder of hearts full of joy
