Depth of Joy

Some call it happy
But it is so much more
More in depth
In depth through one's bones
It's not always light and fluffy
But when known
When felt
It brings smiles from the inner core
Goose pimples running on skin
Contentment enveloping the heart
A knowing of goodness
A knowing of beauty
And the deepest of sighs
For light has flooded my being.
