About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Tiny Glimpse prompt 16
"Imagine yourself a bird flying high in the sky viewing the world beneath."

Tiny Glimpse

You could say
It‘s looking bad today
And you would be quite right

You could say
The earth horizons
Have been battered like the night

You could say
Eternal hope
Hasn’t brought a lot of light

But I see
The misty mountains
Towering over distant seas

And the heartbeat
Of the nations
And the souls on bended knees

So I celebrate
The morning
With its tiny glimpse of peace
