I am the joy!

I stared and stared

Watching you slip past me

Flowing silently,

taking all that meant to me with you

I stared at the colours

I stared at the spirit

I stared at the vibrance that was once me

I saw the rainbow…. The pot of gold… et al

Mystified….. Where was I left behind..

Did I miss a sign, a turn, a path…

I stared …

At the colours being washed away from my memories

Puzzled at how strained it is to remember…

I stared at the joy …. Looking at my face

That was once me…

I was the flow that carried the colours…

I was the joy that carried the vibrance…

I was the life that carried the spirit…

I stared at the peak then and the clouds with the silver lining…

I stare at the path now and the limits and the boundaries…

I look at me ….

I see the joy, the colours, the vibrance
