Joy in the Darkness

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

In the glow of the sun there's a shadow near

Every laugh holds a trace of a quiet tear

The brightest smiles hide a storm inside

Even the stars need the dark to shine

[Chorus]

Take it slow let the rivers flow

Feel the highs and the lows below

The world spins steady in a bittersweet way

Balance the night to cherish the day

[Verse 2]

Every bloom feels the weight of the autumn's call

Even mountains rise just to face the fall

A tender truth that we often disguise

Happiness dances with tears in its eyes

[Chorus]

Take it slow let the rivers flow

Feel the highs and the lows below

The world spins steady in a bittersweet way

Balance the night to cherish the day

[Bridge]

Patience is the thread that weaves the time

Through the laughter and the cries we climb

Without the rain there's no rainbow to find

It's the harmony of heart and mind

[Chorus]

Take it slow let the rivers flow

Feel the highs and the lows below

The world spins steady in a bittersweet way

Balance the night to cherish the day
