Sometimes
When no one else is around
I feel laughter welling up inside
Like a fountain of crystal joy
It spills over in a clarion shout
And I rush to the window
And embrace the brilliant sky
Where the bright sun shines
In a field of azure joy
Where wild falcons
Wing their way
Into the blue horizon
And my spirit flies ahead
To meet them there
My feet begin to move
To rhythms all their own
The primal pounding
Of some ancient dance
Of pure delight
The mirth of heaven overtakes me
And for just one moment
I dance with all the angels
And the saints
Caught up in the splendor
Of the God we all adore
Here I taste the exuberance
Of the incomparable Christ
Here I discover again
The wild, secret joys
Of this beautiful adventure
Of life
