Joy
True inner joy is self - created.
It does not depend on outer circumstances.
A river is flowing in and through you carrying the message of joy.
This divine joy is the sole purpose of life.
What is joy?
It is a bird that we all want
To catch.
It is the same bird that we all love
To see flying.
The ever mounting flame
Of my heart's aspiration - cry
Is the source of my life's
Ever - increasing joy and delight.
