What Brings You Joy

By Charmaine D'Souza

You sit calmly

Eyes closed

At ease

Serene

Contemplative

Barefoot

Curled up in your most comfy armchair

You ask yourself

What brings you joy

What makes you effuse radiance

What makes you smile

From deep within the very core of your being

What eases the pain of past hurts

What makes you forget life's vicissitudes

And then you pursue it

You pursue it earnestly

With full intention

From the depths of your heart

You pursue it like your life depended on it

Because it does

And so does your SANITY!!
