With a splash of joy


Some days
I feel I'm falling
backward
into a pool of color
with an unexpected
splash of joy.
-- or was that
into a pool of joy
with a splash of color?
It doesn't matter, really,
which came first; what matters
is that childlike sense
of delight -- like being
in a bathtub
catching air bubbles
in a brightly colored washcloth.

I see a bird in a bird-bath. Delightful.
