If I could not find joy, levity,
happiness in everything I see, every molecule, atom, quark, black hole, twinkle
on the tooth of a smile, then be I would not. But, I am.
And so I do.
Unwaveringly I seek
the prism of every soul. Breathtaking, treasured
one. Simply majestic. I live in the pure fractures of light every
soul-prism exudes, and dance my lifetimes away celebrating the light emerging
while mocking the illusion of darkness.
Seriousness does not exist in my world; nor in yours, beloved and shy
dancer. Ah yes! Caught you there, did I not? I catch them all.
It is nothing, and from this nothing bubbles
a spring of magnificent light, heaven-high, that rids the empty soul of
seriousness. Be gone, rest in peace, all
is forgiven.
Dance with me, eh child? And I’ll show you the time of your life. It is easy… like this…
Settle for less than joy I shall
not! Never! Come, dance with me… if you dare!
Are you smiling?
