Push for Greater Trust

Trusting that the joy continues,
Will continue, come back, somewhere,
Is sometimes enough, sometimes not.

Depends on how you feel about
Now and the intermittent joy
Now is. Is the joy now enough?

If it isn’t, trusting will not
Be enough. Continuity
Needs to continue at greater

Frequency. Continuous joy,
Of course, would be plenty, and more
Than plenty, if perfectly joy.

Exactly how much more than now
Would imaginary future
Need in the way of joy, before

You can feel it’s enough to trust
Joy to carry on, not pure joy
But close enough, enough to trust?
