Joy's Valentine

Nothing penetrates like joy
Against all refusals to open the door
All of a sudden it can sweep 
Into your lungs out of nowhere
Beyond all reason your heart
Leaps for the few minutes
It can tolerate so great
Expansion but no matter
How much you want it
To dissolve you 
You can't contain it
It moves out to fill
The whole forest with light
Taking back its position
In the sun and stars
