Chasing Joy Through Sun and Spice

What positive emotion do you feel most often?

Most often, joy takes root in simple grace—
In days well-lived, where purpose finds its place.
I bloom in moments when my light is shared,
Through wisdom offered, or when hearts are spared.

The sun upon my face, the breeze behind,
A child’s sweet laughter in a game we find,
The warmth of kitchens where my hands prepare
A cherished meal, met with love laid bare.

A voice, though distant, bridges time and space—
It paints familiar comfort on my face.
To hold at last what once I longed to claim,
Or end a day fulfilled, without a name.

Then morning comes, a gentle, glowing art,
And greets me like a friend—heart meeting heart
