Joy forever !!

Sometimes I wonder 

about my ever growing love

for peacocks...

Is it the grandeur of the blue

that it proudly boasts of

or the brilliant strokes of green

and purple that adorn its feathers...

Is it the shining neck 

or the playful shining hearts on its tail...

Is it the large striking eyes

gazing beyond their range

or the music of its heart

coming out through its crown...

Is it the way it dances 

to celebrate its gorgeousness

or the way

 it gracefully carries itself...

Oh I still wonder 

if it is the compassion it symbolizes

or the fact that despite all the flaws and imperfection 

each feather has...

collectively they create a beauty

 that is joy forever !!
