Joy is…

     the holding of hands
     as we sit
     on the hood of
     our car
     under a night sky
     spread above us,
     with an array of stars
     beginning to appear
     as the blue hour
     fades into night, 
     scattered from
     horizon to horizon,
     framing the top 
     of mountains
     in the distance,
sitting in a dark silhouette.
