AN ODE FOR YOU

Each month, I’ll share a few lines inspired by the incredible women I meet, featuring both my own work and their special contributions for you to enjoy!

JANUARY 2025-

THIS ONE IS ABOUT JOY

JOY WITHIN

Joy. So bountiful, deep, overflowing

Constant and intense

Steady, everlasting

Untouched by the out world

Joy overcomes

It’s the song that moves you

To dance in the storm

 

Joy most peaceful, for you I reach

Hopefully in-adept

I fumble and I reach

I search in the out world

Still Joy eludes me

But now it is obvious

I must reach within me
