Spiritual poetry that makes man happy

The Joy That Dwells Within

By Barnabas PayamPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Certainly. Here is a gentle and uplifting spiritual poem meant to bring joy and peace to the heart:

---

**"The Joy That Dwells Within"**

No need to chase the fleeting light,

For joy is not a thing in flight.

It lives within, a quiet flame,

Unmoved by fortune, praise, or name.

The morning sun, the bird in song,

Reminds the soul where you belong—

Not in the rush, nor in the race,

But in the stillness, full of grace.

Each breath you take, a gift, a prayer,

A whisper of the love that's there.

The sky, the tree, the ocean wide—

They all reflect the truth inside.

You are not lost, you are not small,

You are the heart that holds it all.

The stars above, the earth below,

Are parts of you you’ve yet to know.

So smile, dear soul, and rise anew,

The Light Divine is born in you.

Let laughter bloom and sorrows cease—

You walk the path of joy and peace.
