A Psalm of Found Joy: For the First Joy in Months

I found my joy.
She wasn’t hiding.
She was waiting.
For the moment to lean forward,
To come from the middle of my chest,
Open up my throat.
And laugh without holding back.

Psalm 126:3

הִגְדִּיל יְהוָה, לַעֲשׂוֹת עִמָּנוּ

הָיִינוּ שְׂמֵחִים.

“The Lord will do great things for us and we shall rejoice.”
