Poetry Feature 12: Intangible Treasure

Hello everyone. Queen of Spades here. For those who celebrate the occasion, Happy Easter.

Just to lighten the mood, I'm presenting the following piece from Spaded Truths: Themes and Proclamations called "Intangible Treasure". Enjoy.

Whenever the sun wipes my forehead
 Or the rain kisses my hands,
 Even when the grass tickles my toes,
 
 I know Joy.
 
 When I feel the racing of my blood,
 The pounding of my heart,
 The rise and fall of my chest,
 
 I know Joy.
 
 When the world is racing around me,
 I’m moving in slow motion.
 
 When the crowds curse, yell, and scream,
 All I hear is whispering wind and the ocean.
 
 When the faces are painted with scowls and frowns,
 I still look at them and smile
 
 Because I know Joy
 And Joy is in me.
