Joy

I enjoy long walks & especially spotting something I haven't noticed before during the walk. I take the walk as if it is the first time I've been on the path and look for as many new things as I can.

I saw in Alameda

a lavender bush growing

all alone it stood there

resolute and revealing joy

It captured all my senses

My sight stunned by its simple beauty

My heart filling with great joy in its elegance

It brought me much pleasure in its purpose

I stopped walking for a moment

bent down and picked a stalk

I rubbed its oil between my fingers

and dabbed it on my wrists and neck

oh to bring such unintentional joy

to everyone we meet

would be a day of great meaning

and a life well spent

I like the poem very much, and the description you used in it. Icould practically paint a picture in my mind ^ ^

Tangible joy from a very simple yet lovely aromatic plant,a lavender bush.
The joy magnified when the poet shared it with us.
Thanks to the poet for picking joy from the lavender bush for us all.
