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. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: “When you’re awake, you know you’re awake. But when you aren’t, you don’t know you aren’t. The question is, how do you know you exist?” -- by Maria Popova in Brain Pickings—
--Write whatever you wish about this, through any form, style, genre, fiction, non-fiction or poetry.--


-------------------------

I am—
whether aware, asleep, or awake
although no one may care.
My woes, my joys, my loves
are outlandish, together with my belief in
cogito ergo sum, (what a dish!)
but these are all proofs that I exist
until I am poof…no more,
and after that, what about my gist?
Who knows?
But you who are here in this site
will know of my jaunts
for I will still haunt WdC,
in any of my forms, and how.
---Do I scare you now?
