How did I find my joy?

Seeing a kid jump in joy,

I soaked along to see the bubbles float everywhere,

contagious enough to spark some joy;

I asked myself, “For how long can I contain this joy?”,

but amalgamation of thoughts caught up like fire,

I wondered if I should pull up a thought to settle on;

but holding all my thoughts in oasis of mind,

I decided not to decide any sooner than sunset,

yet a question trickled down instantly!

How should I bottle up my joy without a decision?

without a decision to move forward quickly,

without a decision to stay between ‘here’ and ‘there’.

Alas, came a decision to explore wild and free,

without pinning up my joy anywhere,

But only to find joy everywhere!
