My joy, my happiness

                   Kind words of rain trickle down my spine.
Such a soft ripple of laughter echoes deep within
the sparks of air.

                   So clear are the words as I fall into the
expansive space. So daring are the dancing motions as
I twirl up and over a careful waterfall.

                   Such wonder when I hear a soothing breeze
whisper across my face. A gently pressed kiss follows,
landing clearly upon my forehead.

                    I smile. Holding my breath for seconds
the exploring the creativity formed. Tickled by the
scenery of droplets places on my fingertips. Ah how
I exhale, long and low.

                   Escaping the sorrow, the concern and
dispersing the pain and dispair into the cautious
wind. Here, yes here, I stand.

                   So challenged at moments when I have
come close to being at the end. A small glimmer of
light always shines. The way out. Oh how I rejoice,
singing the blissful melodies in my mind and humming
the stanzas thoroughly.

                    Once more I place a smile, a sassy smirk
upon my face. All finds root. Displaying a curious
glimpse of me ~ so quirky, spunky and full of life.

                   How else would I be a sibling to many? A
true friend to a handful and a quirky brat to one?
For a moment, no changes.

                   Blinking and hoping. So entertain my
memory with one more laugh, one more smile and
a billion times a billion droplets of rain.

                  Then you shall see my joy, my happiness.
