delight

it's taking me a while.
too long in fact.
i was asked recently what delights me.
what delights you?

i fear the answer too long has been..."i don't know".
denial.
far too long in fact i have denied myself what delights me.

this is deeper than asking me 'what do you want?
delight reaches to the soul.
