Next Moments

~~~

It is impossible to be happy all the time

Our lives are in the ebb and flow

A constant parade of things unknown

And feelings we neither want or need

That keeps the happy from being freed

We become bound in the woes of the world

~~~

Strength comes in the spirit knowing

Even as the world turns to ashen gray

And our joys seem so yesterday

Each dawn brings white canvas clean

Our lives await their painted scene

And the colors they hold, we choose

~~~

We have all sat in those shadows

Trapped in the negative space

Where happiness is hard to trace

But we must learn to let it go

Or it becomes all that we know

And happy turns to fond memory

~~~

Recognize the tide and its change

Felt in all that you must feel

Release the pain, begin to heal

See again with clearer eyes

Your happiness again will rise

Next moments may hold your dawn

~~~
