A defiant joy/it's enough

 I've found something precious along the way

A grace, a peace, a kind of comfort

Delicate and vulnerable as I

Could it be that what I seek seeks me?

Could it be that a life as sweet and decadent as a nectar's drip

exists...

for me?

Could the graces of the divine be as kind as a loving mother's womb to enwrap me in such a rapture?

All that I wish

All that I dream

All I ever wanted was everything

In this life

A serenity that never ceases

The exhale that takes one to the ends of the earth

A relief, not because troubles have ceased

But because they don't seep into this sacred joy of yours

A defiant joy

One that doesn't solicit outside of a truth it honors

It's enough to be alive and well

It's enough to save myself

It's enough to nurture the soul I've neglected in the clamour of it all

It's enough because I am

Always have, and an eternity to be

Enough

I found the gift I yearned for in the heartbeat that I know as mine

Solely for me, a body that hums without permission

A symphony that dances with the heavens and hells of this life

A harmony that lies in the silence

Upon finding patience, a heartbeat, a breath, a flutter of the eyes, we hear it for ourselves

There you are
