What a Wonderful World of Words with Stacey Joy, April 3, 2024
Today I found a new word–apricity–in this rabbit hole of unique and beautiful words, as Stacey described it. When I saw that apricity means “the warm rays of sun in the winter” it brought me back to a homesick day during my first winter in frosty Iowa. I sat in the dining room in a beautiful ray of sunshine and may have felt warm for the first time in months. It was that moment I tried to capture.
Sprung into my soul, this apricity
Reminded me of hope in the cold
Brilliant snow reflected felicity
Sprung into my soul, this apricity
Here, frigid and warm duplicity
Image for lavish life takes hold
Sprung into my soul, this apricity
Reminded me of hope in the cold
