I am joyful when I create
when I shape a word
a phrase
a sound
I am joyful when I see a new image
a new picture of the possible
I am joyful when I give birth to a new evocation
I am joyful when I see a complete work
a oneness to celebrate
I am joyful with beauty
I am joyful when I am noticed
for my creation
for my contribution
I am joyful when someone sighs “Ah”
I am joyful when I mine my potential
when I tap into my gold
when I live up to my gifts
even for a moment
Then I am
spectacular
