They Remain

** NEW Poem**

Joy arrives at the break
Of dawn 
Right as the sun enters
The light of it rises
Brightens
Comes into being
Until it retires for the day

It is possible
To cry through joy
To anger through joy 
To rage through joy
To shine through joy
It is necessary

To joyfully resist
To love while setting
Shit ablaze
It is necessary

Joy comes in the morning
Through sunshine
And when the morning
Makes way for afternoon
And evening
Sun shines its light
On the moon

Light is always there
Even when we forget
Even when we are not aware

Light and joy
Are ever present
They remain
So that we can
