Oh, Joy

God's Joy

moves from unmarked box to unmarked box

from cell to cell

As rainwater, down into flower bed

As roses, up from ground

Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish

Now a cliff covered with vines

Now a horse being saddled

It hides within these till one day it cracks them open.

I think God's Joy is found

today in orange leaves

and bananas dipped in sugar/cinnamon

and snickerdoodle coffee

and pumpkin muffins

and a singer named Buble

and sealed love letters.

Yes, I think so.

Happy November
