Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Let Joy be Free

Like you can’t

hold onto

a butterfly

without damaging

it’s wings

You can’t take advantage of

Joy

without losing

the feeling

What I mean is

When those sun soaked moments come

all you can do

is enjoy them

trying to make them last

trying to grip them

will only

cause you

to miss them

    Love that you brought up the butterfly wings with this.
