Joyspark

(For my husband, on his 49th birthday.)

JOYSPARK

There's an anonymous king

with a stained-glass heart

in his chest, under his wing,

and it is a subtle work of art. 

Oh, you've never seen such shine,

when the light pours through!

The joyspark he fought to find

became a dream made true. 

He is ruler of his own domain,

and strong are his ramparts!

Though gen'rous, he is contained,

a man made up of many parts.

Sometimes though, in blackest night,

the stained-glass heart goes dark.

So North Star winks, brightest white,

to flicker to life again that joyspark.

Ah yes, fears often can engulf

but we must be free of illusion -

A king is neither sheep nor wolf, 

but simply soul, being human.
