I am delightful Day Soe
I can draw my happiness with my thoughts
when I’m cheerful
I can dance when I’m filled with desire
like a leaf blowing away in the air
I dip-dive in the water
like a dolphin swimming to greatness
I drive my feelings on the edge of my tongue
to express myself
I listen to my thoughts
as they direct me to my desire
I am delightful Day Soe
