Feel the tingle
excitement
anticipation in your fingertips
itching to do
to be
to reach out to the world
to create
to become
who you are already
have always been
can dream of being
these little sparks of joy
come at random moments
a sunrise
startling
in its subtlety
a palette of colors
a flash of sunlight
on a lake
dappled leaves
whispering in the wind
a friend
speaking a truth
just for you
these sparks of joy
begin
new journeys
physical voyages
to peaks of mountains
to valleys of green
to places where
the stars can be seen
or inside
exploring
the edges of desire
of emotion
knowing the fire within
the spark of joy
lands gently
as the hummingbird
rests
on the smallest branch
full for the moment
from the orange columbines
by the stream
sparkling
splashing
tumbling
catch your spark of joy
wherever it begins
and build your fire
your dream
your voyage
in your own way
everyday
these sparks of joy
await
don’t hesitate
reach out
and up
and inside
to your beating heart
the reflection
in the words
of friends
the mirrors
the dreams
the ones that pull you forward
and push you from behind
the sparks of joy
that keep you alive
searching
dreaming
breathe deep
and know
they rest
within
so burn bright
with
your own
unique
spark of joy.
