After a Sudden and Violent Storm

The joy of the day
cannot be diminished
by the minutia of details.

There will be no
amputation of laughter by a serious
morsel of news
or clogging satisfaction
with undigested struggles.

The truth of the breath
taken deep into the lungs
will flush all doubt
into the open air

and leave behind
the joy like a cool puddle
after a sudden and violent storm.
