JOY

bubbles
well up within
as the quickening
reminds me of the coming promise

a child
our child
created from our
union of deepest love

as those
that tumble
over a waterfall’s crest
capturing the light of the sun

sparkling
white bursting
into a prism of wondrous colors
striated visions of possibilities to come

she
or he
already
making a movement

playing
or seeking
his or her own
little waves in the universe

and
just as
the bubbles
of a waterfall splash

then rise
up on currents
of buoyant air into
the atmosphere, like balloons

she
or he
will rise up
growing, dreaming


becoming
all that is encompassed
in the very atoms of elation
rendering tears that burst into smiles

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

YAY!!! Oh Virginia, it too always seems to me that we are all constantly training ourselves to rise on routine and once we are right on the mark, it is always promising that joy is always there to spark a warmth in all our hearts! (smiles) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
