My Happy 😊/ Sad 😢 Thought

The Dance of the light and shadow

My Happy 😊/ Sad 😢 Thought

In the quiet moments when the world fades away,

I find a place where joy and sorrow sway.

A gentle dance of light and shadow's grace,

In the depths of my heart, they find their place.

Happy thoughts, like sunlight on a summer's day,

Warm my soul and chase the clouds away.

The laughter of children, a lover's tender kiss,

Moments of bliss I never want to miss.

Yet sorrow, too, has its rightful space,

A reminder of love and loss we must face.

Tears that fall like rain on parched earth,

Nurture the seeds of rebirth.

In memories of those who are no longer here,

In the quiet whispers I hold dear,

There’s a melancholy beauty I can’t deny,

In every tear that falls, in every sigh.

The scent of rain on a lonely night,

A reminder of dreams just out of sight,

Hope and despair intertwined in a dance,

A fragile balance, a fleeting chance.

I find solace in the stars' distant glow,

In their light, I see the paths I’ve yet to go.

Each twinkle a promise, a dream to chase,

Even as tears leave their silent trace.

Happy are the times when love is near,

When laughter rings and hearts are clear.

Sadness walks with me, hand in hand,

A constant companion in this shadowed land.

Yet in this duality, I find my strength,

In every joy and every length,

Of sorrow that carves its deep mark,

In the endless journey from dawn to dark.

For life is a tapestry of joy and pain,

Sunshine and the soft, healing rain.

A bittersweet melody, a song of the heart,

In every ending, a brand-new start.

So I embrace both the smiles and the tears,

The fleeting moments and the lingering years.

In the mosaic of emotions, I find my way,

In the dance of light and shadow, I stay.
