joy – Faking It Made

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 81

Day 81: “Bottle It Up!”

I’d like to bottle up pure joy

And keep it for a rainy day

Something to wash over me

And make everything okay

I feel it sometimes

When I’m purely in the present

It’s hard to remember

When I’m lost in my head

I’ll say it now

So maybe I’ll remember

I can make my joy

I can bring me peace

Day 27: “Life’s Joys”

One of my favorite things in life

Is the moving sidewalk at the airport

It brings me so much joy

I turn up the music in my headphones

And strut

And jam

It feels like freedom

Tonight, my flight was delayed by 3 hours

So I walked my ass down to the concourse between terminals

To walk the moving sidewalks in a loop

Hopping on

Hopping off

And back on again

This one even has a light show to make it that much more fun

I jammed

And I strutted

And I had the time of my life
