Happiness is joy, pure and bright,
Despair gloom, dark as night.

The other sinks, drawing near.

Despair hopelessness, all day long.

The other fades, out of sight.

The other lingers, quiet and long.

One dances with vibrant cheer,
The other mourns, drawing near.

Joy and Gloom:
Happiness, a golden ray,
Despair, the shadows where we lay.
Happiness, with laughter bright,
Despair, in the quiet night.

Both within the human soul,
In their balance, make us whole.
