Let Joy Find You

Stop chasing it.
Stop earning it.
Joy was never meant
to be a reward.

It shows up
in the in-between.
In tea that’s still warm,
in music that moves you
for no reason.

Let joy find you
when you’re not performing.
When you’re not fixing.

When you’re just being
soft, still, and you.

You don’t have to look for joy.
Just make room.
It already knows
where you live.
