Harbinger Of Joy


A blissful heart
A joyful soul
Burning with optimism
A fire with no smoke
Exuding true beauty
Not superficial, but internal
The kind that melts mighty men
Makes you smile, instagram memes.
Anything she touches
Turns into gold
Her heart, her soul
Could never be sold.
She only comes alive
When through her eyes
She gives joy to a life.
Unperturbed by negative vibes
Lies and betrayals
Not because she is immune
Her smile a portrayal
That worry helps no one
Even life could end soon
So be happy, have fun.
Embodied with unfathomable innocence
You can not help but do good
At the mere sight of her
You care less about food
You feel an enthralling intensity
The kind in a magnetic field
Once felt, becomes a basic necessity.
Amidst all the confusion,
From her you get serenity
Through osmosis, maybe diffusion
Around her, so much positivity
You could pluck it
An apple defying gravity
In the end you reason
"A joyful heart, indeed, is good medicine"
To you and those in the scene.
