Real Joy

Meeting your soul in a content happy life.

On return to the blanket of joy,

He wrapped himself in himself

Certain that the joy was real.

Thanks Diego! You are the heaven sent critique man.

I liked this piece very much. It is rare for a poem so sparse, to speak to you on so many different levels. Even the last verse, that hints to a little self delusion does not take away from the over arching theme that the first verses thrust it into. Happiness is relative. We all look for our own ways to get there, even if it is partly illusionary it doesn't matter. The heart doesn't care about the source.

Thank you for sharing AK.

This is a fantastic reminder that in order to be content with anything, we must first find it within ourselves...

After my divorce I was told that I would find love only after I learned to love to be alone. Once I got use to being by myself and enjoying spending time alone... lo and behold... there she was :)

I have to say thank you again not only for these critiques but the encouragement, kind words and inspiration I have found in all of you.

love this....few words to describe the ultimate utopia....contentment with oneself.

This was so beautiful. It speaks of true acceptation, relativation, and inner strength.
Enjoyed this little verse of yours Alfred. Real joy indeed, when one "can enjoy this".
