Joy is light and airy
It's here and then it's gone.
Sadness pushes in our brain-
We wear it like a crown.
Whispy, filmy gladness-
Rejoices like a bell.
Oppressive heavy sadness,
Shrieks inside, a private hell.
Oh, to let the inner peace
Drift down from head to toe.
Yet, contentment can't remain-
As shadows in us grow.
How long, you ask, must we endure-
Tears and harsh refrain.
The answer lies within
Your heart and never in your brain.
