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: Among the three things of something to love, something to do, or something to hope for, which one can bring the most happiness to you, and in what ways are the three related?

==============

Those three things--something to do, something to love, and something to hope for—all make me happy, especially when they work in tandem. For example: I work with or do something I love, and I hope it turns out well, like writing, even if not my every hope turns out as expected.

Of the three options, if I have to choose my favorite, I would have to go with something to love, first. The way I look at it, something to love also means someone to love, which includes the intangible concepts and higher beings. For me, love is the starter of everything. Even the entire creation. *Wink*

Next, I pick something to do. Being busy with something or other always makes a person feel needed and content for doing stuff that occupies the mind as well as the hands or body. The reason I put this option second is because doing something I don’t really love bothers me. I need to love what I do.

Something to hope for is the last because it has to do with the future. It is good to have hope, but I wouldn’t want to live on hope alone.
