Joy does not arrive with a fanfare,
on a red carpet strewn
with the flowers of a perfect life.
Joy sneaks in.
As you pour a cup of coffee
watching the sun
hit your favourite tree just right.
And you usher joy away
because you are not ready for her

for such a distinguished guest.

You see, cares nothing for your messy home;
or your bank balance,
or your waistline.
Joy is supposed to slither through
the cracks of your imperfect life.
That's how joy works,
you cannot truly invite her.
You can only be ready
when she appears,
and hug her with meaning
because in this very moment.
Joy chose you
