The trick is that you must see

The world is filled with joy untold
Yours to find and behold
The trick is that you must see
See that which is in front of you

You all look at your surroundings
Although few of you see them
Joy is not a thing that just appears
It is not handed to you in a box

Joy is perspective you obtain
From your way of seeing your universe
Joy bubbles up from inside of you
It has always been part of you

You have only lost it
In your effort to succeed
You have lost the beauty
Of being physical

Joy is the way the sunlight
Hits the leaves and reveals
Color, form and dimension
Joy is in the wonder of a leaf

Joy is in the lines and planes
Of a city skyline
The architecture of the buildings
And the minds that created them

Joy is in perfect cup of coffee
The smile a small child
The sparkle in an old persons eyes
But you must seek Joy

It is not outside of you
It bubbles under the surface
Release your joy, Release your heart
In this there is freedom
