Under the Deep Sorrow
And under the deep sorrow of my heart
There is a deeper happiness beneath
Though neither can be measured on a chart
The sorrow in my breast cannot be taught
But human beings each discover grief
Underneath the centre of our hearts
Sorrow is no fish that can be caught
Acceptance,toleration may relieve
Though neither can be measured on a chart
The happiness below the dark unsought
This feeling is surprising but believe
It’s underneath the sorrows of the heart
From our love and loss a self is wrought
As if our self must first be reconceived
Nothing can be measured on a chart
Trust the darkness, for Love is no thief
And neither does it ever want deceit
Feeling joy and sorrow in my heart
No life or love is measured on a chart
