• what is joy?
    *
    you pick up an old dusty book
    thinking that you'll take just a look
    however inside it are the answers you find
    that you will always keep in mind
    ~
    when the fog covers the ground
    and the distant sky is bleak
    when you're neither lost nor found
    and too emotionless to speak
    the haven that is the old railway
    and indeed that ugly, rusty thing
    is the one thing that will make you stay
    because new radiance it will sing
    ~
    just how much that you mean to the world
    is not completely known to the world
    but one thing that is known to the world
    is that you do mean everything to the world
    ~
    the life that is in front of you is definitely concealed in a haze
    however, if you will simply keep on walking, for sure you will be amazed
    ~
    where you stand seems dark
    you feel you can't make a mark
    but deep inside of your heart
    is the part of you that will start
    because as soon as you open your mind
    you can certainly begin to shine
    ~
    look down, as the sun warms you, the flowers open to say hi
    look up, because it is positive that even you can reach the sky
    all it really takes is to bring you left foot forward
    ignore your shaking and begin your journey shoreward
    because i know that then the valiant waves of of the sea
    will wash away your troubles, please believe me.
    ~
    joy.

    you quietly close that old dusty book
    knowing that you'll never take just a look
    definitely inside it are the answers you find
    that you will certainly always keep in mind
