lone quiet joy
time stands still
soft cloud descends
I think as one 'matures', joyful times are not fireworks and huzzahs....Joy is often enjoyed in solitude and accompanied by a feeling of peace....

I agree. I think there is a world of difference between the temporary excitement of pleasure and the calm, eternal, constant nature of joy. Though we may still only feel it in moments! Enjoy them! That baby elephant is pure joy! :-)

True! I find my best moments anymore are when I have peace and quiet!
ReplyDeleteJoy can often be felt from within and expressed outwardly. I like the quiet joy rising in this haiku.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful words !!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, and I also found the snow picture joyful--not sure if it belongs with the joy, but it gave me some.
ReplyDeleteOh how those clouds descend on the joy of youth...if we let them. Lovely, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThe quiet joys are the most significant, I think.

I do agree. Joy sometimes is just beeing a part of nature. I am not longing for time laying on the beach but someone else is, that elephant really shows joy. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy camper that elephant is.. :-)
