Joy
those moments
under the sun
or with a dear friend
or the joy you feel
in a green field
this life has
little moments of joy
for us to enjoy
but there is no happiness
for happiness does not exist
the feeling when you
harvest the growth of your seeds
after taking care of it for so long
the feeling when you and your beloved
are together
the feeling
that comes after the smell of victory
after a fight
that feeling
is Wunjo
that feeling
is joy
and you shouldn't
be too arrogant not to enjoy it
one should fill himself
with Wunjo
this life didn't scatter joy
all around it schemes
all around its flowers and seas
all around its green and fertile mountains
for nothing
and the beautiful creatures
of Midgard
will tell you so
life gave birth to joy
for us
are we too proud to enjoy it?
when even at the rim of death
we can feel joy
for when you fought the fight
and it is the time
for you to fade
you feel the joy of your victory
you feel the joy of your voyage
realizing success
this life
has little moments of joy
but eternal happiness
is a deceiving lie
for happiness does not exist
Skál.
