Seeking Joy

Stop searching for Joy...
She isn't an emotion
She isn't a feeling
That comes and goes

She is your birthright
Here all along
Just buried beneath
Years of conditioning--

Buried under years of desires,
Dreams, and heartache...
She is waiting patiently
For you to wake up
To remove the veils
That keep Her hidden

Waiting for you to glimpse Her--
Waiting for your
Dense outer facade
To break apart
And break the spell
Of a past and future

There is only Joy
The perfection
Of each moment
Find Her.
