If You Should Find Your Key

Joy
Is not ours to keep
It visits, like a certain
Shimmer in the breeze

It asks
The hairs upon the skin this dance
And the skin the rhythm finds in time
And then the skin agrees

A certain fall and curl of leaf
How the colour breathes
To rush the heart
Through its seasons

Like a certain breath of light
By window, by doorway
A brook of stairway voices
A laughter of shadows

Joy is the music
Set to a certain dancer, so
If you should find your key
I wish you joy

Joy
Is not ours to keep
It knows but once the things to say
And then it barely speaks

It knows
Precisely when to leave
A when you're down and failed, find me
Trail of memories

It sees
Your silent solace in the trees
It's in the path a drop of rain will take
To touch you on the cheek

Joy is the music
Set to a certain dancer, so
If you should find your key
I wish you joy
